1. A system for monitoring a water supply, the system comprising:
a solenoid valve;
a sensor configured to generate sensor information;
a flow meter configured to generate water flow information, and wherein the water flow information includes the water flow rate;
a computer system, wherein the computer system is configured to:
receive both sensor information generated by the one sensor, and water flow information generated by the flow meter;
analyze the water flow information to determine if the water flow rate is greater than a pre-determined value;
send a state change signal to the solenoid valve if the water flow rate is greater than the pre-determined value, and wherein said state change signal is configured to change a state of the solenoid valve; and
if the state change signal was sent to the solenoid valve, selectively transmit user information to a user computing device over a communication network, and wherein said user information includes: (i) a notification of the state change signal, and (ii) a portion of the water flow information, (iii) a portion of the sensor information; and
a mobile user computing device configured to display the user information transmitted by the computer system.
