The Central Water and Sewage Authority (CWSA) in St. Vincent is planning a trial of “static electronic meters” aimed at increasing accuracy, particularly when measuring low water flow rates.
CWSA Manager Winsbert Quow noted that electronic meters can help detect leaks and may eventually be able to shut off water consumption if usage surpasses a certain amount.
The meters are more sensitive to low water flows, and consumers will be able to read them electronically. Negotiations with the NTRC are underway to get the necessary frequency for the pilot project, according to Quow.
Static Water Meter Technology for Higher Revenue Generation Kamstrup Water Metering in Atlanta, Georgia, emphasizes the significance of static water meter technology in accurately capturing low water flows and enabling water systems to generate higher revenue.
By using sensitive measurement equipment, operational expenses and future capital requirements can be met through the accurate measurement and billing of every unit of water consumed.
According to Kamstrup marketing manager Kali Gerhardt, the type of water meters used in your city can greatly affect the amount of money lost due to leaks. By implementing static water meter technology, cities can ensure that revenue is maximized and that leaks are minimized.
