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
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
In Johannesburg, non-revenue water (NRW) has reached 44.8% — nearly half of all treated water produces no revenue. In Malawi, NRW ranges from 26% to 46%, with the Blantyre Water Board losing over half of its water. In Kenya, 76 water firms lost 204 billion liters of unbilled water in
Large-diameter pipelines — the arteries of your distribution network — are the hardest places to find leaks. A pinhole crack in a 200mm main can waste thousands of gallons per day, but traditional mechanical meters often cannot see it. Their start-up flow is too high. The slow leak simply passes

A bulk water meter installed on a main supply line serves hundreds or thousands of customers. When it loses accuracy, the entire downstream billing is wrong. And yet, most large-diameter mechanical meters start drifting within five to seven years. Moving parts wear out. Turbines and pistons spin millions of times.
Here is something most utility managers don’t know. When a customer partially closes their upstream ball valve to “save water,” they might be doing the opposite — stopping your meter from measuring at all. Recent independent research tested six ultrasonic water meters from different brands. The finding was striking: at
Non-revenue water (NRW) silently drains your utility’s budget. Leaks go undetected. Unauthorized consumption goes unbilled. Mechanical meters under-register at low flows. Every gallon that flows through your pipes but never appears on a bill is revenue you earned but cannot collect. How can a valve-controlled ultrasonic water meter solve this?

TengyueMetering has recently officially obtained CMMI Level 3 certification. As an internationally recognized authoritative standard for evaluating the R&D maturity and project management capabilities of software enterprises, this certification indicates that the company has reached internationally advanced levels in core areas including software process management, technological R&D, and project delivery. It
Non-revenue water (NRW) remains one of the biggest headaches for water utilities worldwide. Hidden leaks, inaccurate metering, and data silos all contribute to wasted water and lost revenue. Join us at WATERTECH CHINA 2026 — June 9–11 at the Shanghai National Convention & Exhibition Center — to discover a smarter way
Here at TY Metering, we hear this from utility superintendents and facility managers all the time. Why do mechanical water meters need to be replaced every few years? Mechanical meters have a predictable failure pattern. The moving parts spin millions of times. Sand and debris accelerate wear. Hard water leaves

As a water meter manufacturer, we talk to utility procurement managers every week. One question comes up again and again: “Why do my maintenance costs keep going up even though I am buying cheaper meters?” Here is what we have learned from our customers. Mechanical meters have moving parts —
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) continues to be one of the most costly challenges for water utilities worldwide. Unaccounted water loss, hidden leakage, unauthorized consumption, and inefficient management directly impact revenue and sustainability. Valve-controlled ultrasonic water meters have become a leading solution for NRW reduction, and the TY Metering TS11FW is engineered
For decades, water utilities have relied on meters for one primary purpose: measuring consumption. But what if your water meter could do more than just count gallons? The reality is that modern water management is no longer just about how much water is used—it’s about gaining insights that you can
Cancún is facing an unprecedented drought. Reservoir levels have reached historic lows, and authorities have called on residents to reduce water consumption by 10% — to just two minutes of running water per day. A €31 million emergency package has been announced. The situation in the Mexican Caribbean reflects a
This smart water meter connects to NB-IoT or LoRaWAN, syncing all data to the cloud. Users can check real-time flow, pressure, and water temperature anytime via a phone app. Its biggest advantage: the moment a leak occurs, it automatically shuts off the water supply in seconds — long before you
Last week, our team had the opportunity to exhibit at ASIA WATER 2026 in Kuala Lumpur — one of the region’s most influential platforms for water industry professionals. As smart water meter manufacturers, we went in with an open mind. What we found was a concentrated gathering of familiar names,
