Smart Meters for your Business Across United Kingdom
Smart Business water Meter IN UK
Why am I being asked to have a smart meter? IN UK
The current state of the British water infrastructure is far from smart.
The roll-out of smart meters is part of a broader plan to bring the water network into the 21st century.
Each day in the UK, 20 billion litres of water are extracted from rivers, streams and aquifers and treated for human use.
The treated water travels across a vast pipe network to reach homes and businesses nationwide.
The water regulator Ofwat estimates that around a fifth of water is lost to leakage before it reaches homes and businesses.
But this is only an estimate – many homes and businesses don’t even have an old-fashioned water meter, meaning no one knows how much water is being used (and wasted through leakage).
Leaking billions of litres of water comes at a considerable cost in exacerbating water scarcity, a growing problem in our warming climate.
Additionally, the cost of wasting water through leakage means higher water bills for everyone. With smart water meters at all homes and businesses, we would know exactly how and where water is being used and where it is not reaching its destination.
The parts of the water network causing the massive water loss could be identified and fixed. Even better, new leaks that do occur could be detected within minutes and quickly fixed. What does a smart water meter look like? A smart meter needs detection and transmission equipment where the water pipes come from your road into your property. Typically, water meters are found beneath the pavement outside your home beneath a cover like this: Find My Water Meter A smart water meter will be attached to your communication pipe beneath this cover.
Different water companies use different water meters as standard.
Here are examples from two of the biggest: Thames Water smart water meter: Thames water smart meter
Severn Trent smart water meter: Severn Trent Smart Water Meter
As a contrast, here’s what an old-fashioned water meter looks like that requires manual meter reading:

How can my business get a smart water meter?
Unlike the home water market, there is no concerted effort to roll out smart water meters to British companies.
