The roll out of automatic meter reading devices (AMR) starts in Moura this week.
The Banana Shire Council Facebook page states that during the project water meters will have transmission devices attached to them.
The AMR system will provide a number of benefits including the ability to obtain meter reads without a person physically attending the site and it can be used to detect any unusual water use patterns that may indicate a potential leak in a customer’s property.
Once the AMR system is fully operational, it is Council’s intention to provide property owners with the ability to view their own personal property water usage information on a daily basis.
