Water & Sewerage Department rolling out digital meters
The Water & Sewerage Department is rolling out a digital metering network which is said to be optimised for residential use.
The digital meters are said to come with built-in communication to include remote reading either by drive, by reading, or a fixed network.
Director of Water & Sewerage Perline Scatliffe Leonard said the initial management training is now complete for the operation of the digital meters, specifically known as the ultrasonic water meter Kamstrup FlowIQ 2100.
According to a media release for the aforesaid department, “the introduction of the network will decrease data collection time and improve on the deficiencies experienced over the years in billing, as it will allow for accurate readings to an optimised low start flow which ensures that even the smallest consumption is efficiently measured”.
In the meantime, Premier Andrew Fahie has said work on the new digital network includes “purchasing of water meters, upgrading the billing system, and addressing leaks in the network”.

CAN THESE READ AIR ALSO???
We need to know the power output an communication frequencies of these devices before we even entertain the thought of placing them on our properties!
More information please!
Small battery 12 year life, shorter range than you wifi.
Do they come with monthly water bills as well? A shoe store can email me a repair bill but WSD can’t send me any bill in any format whatsoever…
Same day reading and billing
How about an operable sewage treatment plant ?
Can they control the water pressure? This is very important, so you don’t have to pay for water due to damage pipes and equipments.
Shorter range being? What frequency is it broadcasting over?
Must be same or lower frequencies being experienced by cell phones and dish
Great idea, We can now at last prove no water is flowing through the pipes when the water bill arrives !
nice post
Domestic household water meters
Great initiative
Great idea. Do you have meters to put in the streets to measure the sewage running past?
Can we also improve in delivery services as well. Greenland has major water issues so pump some water through the pipes so that you would have something to read at the end of the month.
Sounds great. wonder what they will measure in my village were we have water MAY BE between 6:00 and 9:00 in the mornings only
