Monitoring water consumption through data collection
Data collection services to suit your budget
Collecting regular, accurate data means it’s easier to monitor your water consumption as well as spot if there could be a leak. But if your water meter is in a hard-to-reach spot, getting meter reads can be challenging. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive range of data collection services to suit a range of budgets and data requirements.

Each month, your reads will be automatically uploaded directly into our billing system, and because your bill will be generated based on the true read, you’ll know they’re accurate.
