Water Measurement with Sensus – a Xylem Brand
At Xylem, we are here to help you improve your demand management capability as a water utility or council. Did you know that 20-40% of households have small water leakages at any one time? When a residential customer does have a leak, 40% of consumption happens at low-flow. These small leakages can account for about 10% of utilities’ consumption, and can also be hard to measure and track without the right meters resulting in:
- Water wastage
- Non-revenue water
Water meters with higher R-Ratio’s can be one of the first steps on the journey to operating a more optimised water distribution network.
Benefits of a Smart Metering System
-
Increase customer service and satisfaction
Customers regular, accurate bills often results in less questions or disputes which is a direct cost-saving and improvement to customer satisfaction
-
Reduce non-revenue water
A metering system with a higher R-ratio has a higher level of accuracy to track even lower flow rates – as low as 1L/hr
-
Reduce maintenance
A longer meter-replacement cycle means less operational costs and long-term cost savings
