What Is Smart Water Metering?
All homes are fitted with water meters. Water meters allow us to see how much water we’re using and compare it with our bills to ensure it is correct. They also allow us to manage our usage to be as cost-effective as possible. They are incredibly helpful in understanding and appropriately utilising our homes’ facilities. But what is a ‘smart’ water meter?
A smart water meter automatically tracks and records the water used in your home. It allows professionals to find and fix leaks more quickly and ensures energy companies charge your water usage accurately.
What Are The Benefits Of Smart Water Metering
More Accurate Water Bills
Smart water metering provides precise, real-time readings of your water usage, leading to more accurate and clear water bills. This accuracy ensures your water usage is cost-effective, preventing unnecessary excess rates. As a property owner, this reduces stress and gives you a better understanding of your property’s water system, allowing for more effective management and maintenance.
Faster Leak Detection
With smart water metering, leaks are detected faster, leading to quicker repairs. This rapid response reduces water waste and prevents system complications. Early detection and repair mean better property maintenance and a lower risk of costly, larger issues arising from undetected leaks. Avoiding these problems through efficient leak detection is much more cost-effective.
Environmental Benefits
Smart water metering reduces water waste, which is beneficial for the environment. In today’s climate-conscious world, property owners should strive to minimise water wastage, contributing to a greener and more sustainable living environment.
Noticeable Home Improvements
Installing a smart water meter brings multiple solutions that enhance your lifestyle, financial status, and home maintenance. These benefits include saving money on energy costs, reducing water consumption, identifying water system leaks, and maintaining solid and supported water infrastructure. By investing in smart water metering, you can enjoy a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly home.
What Are the Benefits of Smart Water Meters?
Financial benefits can include:
- Reduction in non-revenue water & customer-side leakage
- Lower capital expenditure associated with water infrastructure due to better demand management
- Removal of manual meter reading costs (& associated safety hazards)
- Improved levels of customer service & better credit management
The main non-financial smart water metering benefits are:
- Enhanced customer experience & improved levels of customer satisfaction from real-time information & notifications (for example, avoiding ‘bill shock’ or alerting to a customer-side leak)
- Improved usage of scarce water resources so beneficial for the environment
- The ability to implement new tariff structures due to data granularity or minimise customer cut-offs due to payment hardship
- Better manage the way water restrictions are used during periods of low supply
How Can Aqua Analytics Help with Digital Water Metering Projects in Australia and New Zealand?
Many digital water meter projects in Australia and New Zealand involve telecommunications providers, particularly with the growth of the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and similar technologies. Smart water meter solutions are becoming a critical component of intelligent water networks. In New Zealand, Aqua Analytics can provide Kamstrup smart water meters.
The interoperability of intelligent water meters with other water network IoT devices and the consolidation of data within a module and equipment-agnostic smart water management platforms such as GoAigua, allows us to change the way we manage complex buried water networks. If correctly implemented, smart water meters can significantly contribute to non-revenue water reduction and infrastructure upgrade deferrals in many cities and towns.
What Other Services Do You Provide?
Not only have we pioneered innovative water monitoring services, but Aqua Analytics has also developed real-time water network solutions with a focus on water loss management, pipe condition assessment and leak detection. We utilise various technology-driven methods and solutions to provide our clients with intelligent, intuitive and practical asset management strategies.
Our services include:
- Active Leak Detection
- Pipeline Condition Assessment
- Smart Water Consulting
- Smart Water Networks
- Smart Water Monitoring
- Valve and Hydrant Assessment
- Water Loss Management
How is IoT Technology Changing Water Network Metering?
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) allows water utilities to monitor their assets in almost real-time, leading to better customer outcomes, improved operational efficiency and enhanced asset performance. Simultaneously, the cost of smart device hardware, communication and big data analytics has significantly reduced over the last decade, making IoT projects affordable for water utilities of all sizes. Our innovative water consulting services help you navigate this ever-changing environment and enable you to understand the value of solutions such as Trimble Water’s Remote-Monitoring-as-a-Service.
The Aqua Analytics team has experience working with a range of water IoT devices, applications and communication protocols and understands how these can all help water utilities improve their business and solve critical problems. For example, the ability to detect a leak before it becomes a significant burst enables preventative maintenance at a much lower repair cost and, most importantly, leads to improved customer satisfaction.
How Much Do Your Smart Water Metering Services Cost?
When developing intelligent water metering solutions, we are unable to provide a one-size-fits-all quote for every job. As every project we work on is unique, we quote on a project-by-project basis. Whether you are looking for a long-term engagement or short-term assistance, we provide clear and transparent pricing structures that best accommodate your budget without compromising on the quality of our solutions.
