What’s the challenge?
As meters age, the likelihood of failure becomes imminent and often occurs unexpectedly. Meters can become damaged and fail at unpredictable times causing problems in accurately recording consumption. Currently, MOSL data shows that 11% of meters in the Non-Household (NHH) market are showing non-consumption.
Non-consuming meters can mean customers are not receiving their correct bills, potential leaks are not being identified and opportunities for water efficiency savings are being missed.
The MOSL Market Improvement Fund Project No Flow identified a significant percentage of non-consuming meters had been non-consuming for a prolonged period. Long-term effects of non-consuming meters can produce estimated consumptions leading to inaccurate bills that can place financial burdens on customers and companies. Damaging the relationships and confidence customers have for water retailers and wholesalers.
