Smart Water Meter

Every drop measured, every payment delivered. The utility sells water in advance and controls every meter remotely; customers top up from their phone.

How it works

Six core functions, one closed loop.

A
Onboard & bind

Operator registers the meter; the customer binds it in the app.

B
Recharge

Pay through mobile money, or key a 20-digit token into the CIU keypad.

C
Prepaid billing

When the balance reaches zero the valve closes; a recharge reopens it.

D
Remote control

Read, open or close; commands queue and run when the meter wakes.

E
Monitor & report

Daily data, battery health, graded alerts and PDF reports.

F
Postpaid

Monthly bill pushed with a configurable grace period.
