Systems that utilize a power grid to monitor and control fluid flow within a water system are presented. The system can have first and second docking stations configured to process signals produced by respective first and second sensors. The docking stations are preferably user-pluggable into a power grid such that the docking stations can communicate with other docking stations, sensors, or a remote monitor. Methods of refitting an existing water system to monitor and control water consumption are also presented. Sections of the existing system can be replaced with new sections that include at least one valve and sensor to monitor and control fluid flow through that section.
