Yes. Smart water meters use low-powered radio signals to transmit usage information and are designed to comply with relevant safety requirements. The signals are much lower-powered than many everyday wireless devices, and there are no known health risks associated with their normal operation.
Smart meters record water consumption rather than monitoring individual activities or appliances, and water companies are also required to handle customer data in accordance with data protection requirements.
Smart water meters provide accurate, automated measurements of water consumption and can reduce reliance on estimated or infrequent manual readings. This can result in more accurate billing and give businesses a clearer picture of when and how much water they are using.
Regular consumption data can also make it easier to spot unexpected increases in usage that could indicate a leak or other problem.
Not every new or replacement water meter is necessarily a smart meter, although the water industry is increasingly moving towards smart metering. Newer AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) meters can automatically send usage data throughout the day, and these are expected to become the standard approach as water companies continue their smart meter rollouts.
Smart water meters are not something every business needs to arrange itself. Water wholesalers have the right to install meters on non-household water supplies, including businesses, charities and public sector organisations, and smart meters are being introduced as part of wider regional rollout programmes.
Whether and when your premises receives one will therefore depend on your wholesaler and its rollout plans.
No. Smart water meters do not normally use electricity from your business premises. They are typically powered by long-life internal batteries designed to operate for many years, allowing the meter to record and transmit usage data without being connected to the property’s electricity supply.
Smart water meters automatically transmit your usage data, so you generally don’t need to take manual readings. With Total Water Solutions, you can view your water consumption through the online portal, including how usage changes throughout the day.
If you do need to read the physical meter, water consumption is normally shown in cubic metres (m³). Depending on the type of meter, the main or black figures represent whole cubic metres, while smaller or red figures show fractions of a cubic metre.
Smart water meters automatically measure how much water your business uses and transmit the data electronically, removing the need for manual meter readings. This provides a much more detailed view of your consumption and can help identify unusual usage, wastage and potential leaks. With Total Water Solutions’ smart metering system, usage data is updated every 15 minutes and can be accessed through a secure online portal.
