Southern Downs, QLD searches for residential water leaks with smart meter project in Stanthorpe
Council officials estimate that 10% of local households experience hidden water leaks. Local and state funding covered the installation of smart water meters at 2,700 homes in Stanthorpe. Smart meters provide hourly updates on water usage via radio signal, thus ensuring more precise measurements than manual meter readings. Southern Downs will use this data in evaluating how treated water from a plant near Mount Marlay is lost on the way to households.
