Across Africa, millions of households are not metered. They pay flat rates — often based on estimates that bear no relation to actual consumption. In Johannesburg, 99,000 “deemed customers” in Soweto, Alexandra, and Orange Farm are billed a flat rate for 10 to 20 kiloliters, but investigations show actual consumption ranges from 50 to 60 […]

Access to clean water remains a daily challenge for millions across Africa. In many underserved communities, residents rely on expensive water vendors — paying up to 20 times the official utility tariff . Others depend on unreliable public taps with long queues and frequent breakdowns. Utilities lose revenue. Communities pay too much for too little.

For housing developers and municipal water departments, the business case for smart metering often comes down to one thing: ROI. While the benefits of automated billing are clear, the initial investment in hardware and network infrastructure can be a barrier. The TS10W smart water meter is specifically engineered as a cost-effective gateway to smart water

For water utilities across Southeast Asia and Latin America, Non-Revenue Water (NRW) remains the single biggest operational headache. Manual meter reading in densely populated or hard-to-reach areas is not only expensive—it’s a major source of data inaccuracies and undetected leaks. A recent study showed that with only six personnel assigned to read 42,000 meters, completing

LoRa Water Meter

In many international residential projects, water meters are located in hard-to-access underground manholes, basement vaults, or behind thick concrete walls. For utilities, this creates a logistical nightmare and a safety hazard—health guidelines often require two staff members to enter a shaft to take a single reading. The Connectivity Challenge While NB-IoT relies on cellular coverage,

Tomorrow, Cape Town will host one of Africa’s most important water gatherings—the WISA Biennial Conference and Exhibition 2026. From 22 to 24 July, the city’s Convention Centre will be buzzing with water professionals, utilities, and innovators from across the continent and beyond. And we at TY Metering are packing our bags, ready to join the

Water metering is changing. As water utilities, municipalities, and smart water projects look for more accurate measurement and better ways to monitor consumption, the traditional mechanical water meter is no longer the only option. Ultrasonic water meters are attracting increasing attention because they combine electronic flow measurement with smart communication capabilities. But what makes ultrasonic

The demand for smart and accurate water metering is creating new opportunities for water meter distributors around the world. For distributors, adding ultrasonic water meters to an existing product portfolio can be an attractive opportunity. But choosing the right supplier is critical. A competitive product is only one part of the decision. The supplier should
