Case Study: Town of Westport, CT achieves clear utility-spend visibility and 35% fuel-oil savings with Brightly Software (UtilityTrac Plus)

Town of Westport, CT - Customer Case Study

The Town of Westport, CT (pop. 25,749) manages about 60 public buildings and was relying on spreadsheets to track utility spending, which made it difficult to see how much was being spent by commodity or by building and to spot opportunities for savings.

After implementing UtilityTrac Plus, Westport quickly centralized bill entry, cleaned up 200+ meters, and used the data to prioritize projects like converting parking‑lot lighting, HVAC upgrades, and installing thermostats on truck block heaters. The town now has a clear picture of where money is spent, can pull up accounts instantly, and has realized measurable savings—one project cut fuel oil costs by about 35% (≈$10,000) and water use dropped after replacing water‑cooled server units.
