Water leak mitigation system
First Claim
1. A liquid flow mitigation system comprising:
- a systems interface;
a liquid arresting mechanism operable to impede flow of a liquid;
a control device operable to produce an input to said systems interface representing a request to impede flow of the liquid;
a liquid utilizing device operable to produce an input to said systems interface representing a request for liquid flow;
wherein said systems interface directs said liquid arresting mechanism to impede liquid flow when said systems interface is in receipt of an input from said control device; and
wherein said systems interface directs said liquid arresting mechanism to permit liquid flow when said systems interface is in receipt of an input from said water utilizing device.

Abstract
A liquid flow mitigation system comprising a systems interface, a liquid arresting mechanism operable to impede flow of a liquid, a control device operable to produce an input to the systems interface representing a request to impede flow of the liquid, and a liquid utilizing device operable to produce an input to the systems interface representing a request for liquid flow. The systems interface directs the liquid arresting mechanism to impede liquid flow when the systems interface is in receipt of an input from the control device. The systems interface directs the liquid arresting mechanism to permit liquid flow when the systems interface is in receipt of an input from the water utilizing device.
