Whenever a new meter is installed, either a smart meter or a manual-read meter, there is a chance that your bill may increase. Many of the water meters are more than 20-years old and at the end of their functional life. As meters age, their accuracy begins to decline. The new meter will accurately reflect your consumption, and as a result, may report higher billable water usage.
This technology offers more consistent and accurate readings and 24-hour leak detection. After installations are completed, WTCPUA customers will have access to a web portal allowing customers to easily monitor their water consumption, compare current usage to previous periods, set e-mail and text alerts and set budget and conservation goals.
A smart meter is part of a system that uses wireless radio frequency and cellular technology to send your meter readings to the WTCPUA.
