Smart meter strengthens night-time data collection

摘要

The rules on supplying accurate leakage data are stricter than ever, and criminal offences can result. But one smart meter can provide valuable support. THE REGULATOR has been increasingly critical of the robustness of data used by water companies to calculate supply pipe leakage. Companies have a statutory obligation to supply reliable and accurate information, and failure to do so is a criminal offence. Despite this, accurate information on supply and demand, including actual measurements of individual supply pipe leakage and per capita consumption (PCC), is not always available.
