Many countries and geographic areas around the world have moved from old styles of water meters and upgraded to smart water meters. A smart water meter uses prevalent technology to transmit information about water usage directly to the utility or the provider’s billing and management service.

There are many myths and misunderstandings about the technology used in the smart water meter. It is not a form of two-way communication. The meter is only capable of sending information, and the only information it sends is the specific usage of water to the home or commercial business through that specific meter.

Adds to Accuracy in Billing

These meters are very accurate and record water usage at a set interval throughout a specific time period. This allows monthly billing to be accurate to the reporting time interval.

These meters also allow a better understanding of water use in large cities and smaller communities. This information is invaluable in developing environmentally friendly and safe programs and campaigns to help communities monitor and manage water use.

Reduces Costs

Once a smart water meter is installed, the water company can save money. These meters are very durable and require only infrequent repair or replacement. Many of the new meters are made of polymers that can stand up to heat and freezing temperatures.

At the same time, there is no need to manually read water meters, eliminating the cost of having meter readers go to every meter on a monthly or regular billing cycle schedule.
