Smart meters
Smart meters collect water use data in regular intervals and send the information back to us once a day. This allows you to monitor your water use through your online account and identify leaks sooner, and provide us with remote readings in areas where our meter readers can’t access your meter.
To date, we've installed smart water meters in homes and businesses where our meter readers’ safety and access has been an issue. We’re currently rolling out an additional 16,000 smart meters as part of the Perth Smart Water Meter Pilot, to assess the benefits of installing smart meters across WA.
Smart meters give you the power to make smart decisions
If you’re part of the AMI network and have access to your smart meter data in your online account, you’ll have access to information to empower you to make water saving changes and more.
Understand your water use
Having access to regular water use data gives you an insight into your daily water use. This will help you understand your water use trends over time and identify ways to save water and lower your water bill.
Hidden leaks become more visible
Being familiar with your water use patterns means you can be on the lookout for spikes in water use that may be due to a leak. From a running toilet cistern to a burst pipe, water use insights can help you identify water loss sooner, saving you time and money.
Businesses can target key operations and improve efficiencies
By checking your smart meter data and considering the activities, equipment and operations that influence your water use, you can target specific daily, weekly or monthly activities and build new and efficient processes and procedures into your business operations.
Avoid surprises
Having access to your daily water use data means you can avoid surprises when you receive your bill. With smart meters, you can see your water use in close to real time in your online account, which allows you to track how much water you’re consuming and make changes accordingly.
