Water solutions for new developments is important for compliance with the City of Cape Town’s water by-laws. By combining innovation and expertise, we provide smart water management solutions. We strive to provide all of our clients with sustainable, turnkey water solutions while also saving money and reducing water waste.
Kamstrup – best water meter on the market
From the initial water solution inquiry, our team of water solution specialists arranges a no obligation site visit and assessment of the property’s water needs. Our close association with leading water meter manufacturers, Kamstrup means that the very best water meter on the market, enabled with ultrasonic technology to measure water flow, means that your water reading is accurate.
Kamstrup smart water devices are ideal for new developments, particularly Sectional Title Schemes, as they are able to detect any leaks and alert the maintenance team to the issue, saving the Body Corporate from a large expense. A smart water meter leak detection system monitors abnormal water use, or overuse of water, as well as the flow of water through a pipeline. This system allows for a more accurate understanding of the water network and installations.
Rent-to-own meters in Sectional Title Schemes
In addition to installation, maintenance, monitoring, and compliance, we assist with municipal reconciliation. While a new development is in its construction phase, the City will assign a municipal tariff to the building. Our team is able to ensure the tariff is accurate. In this way, you are assured that the water being charged is in line with the tariff.
WUS offers a rent-to-own water meter 60 months + interest* financing model for sectional title schemes. This allows Body corporates, homeowners associations, and property owners associations better control over their utility management.
Water Regulation Compliance
As a seemingly limited and precious resource, water is being extensively monitored. In Cape Town, the water amendment by-law, in accordance with the Sectional Title Schemes Act, ensures that new developments are compliant with regards to their basic utilities. As a utility company with more than 35 years of industry experience, we understand the importance of ensuring that the best quality work is completed. Because of this, our team of experts, in consultation with Sutherland Engineers, ensures that all projects are CoCT compliant. At WUS, we pride ourselves on offering tailor made solutions for body corporates and homeowners associations.
Smart and prepaid water – How they work
Smart water meters work by using wireless connections to take remote readings. Remote monitoring, along with leak detection technology, results in less water waste. This also means that water readings can be taken at any time of the day and fed into an automated system. Smart water meters collect time-stamped water consumption data and alert users to leaks before significant waste occurs.
Like smart water meters, prepaid smart water meters use wireless connections to take remote readings, detect leaks, and collect time stamped data. Prepaid water meters however, work through tokens being loaded, similar to prepaid electricity, and deducted as it is used. Prepaid meters are necessary as a result of the City of Cape Town Water By-Law.
For new developments, keeping costs low is a top priority. Managing utility expenses can often become overwhelming, and an essential utility such as water can be neglected, causing issues throughout the property. It is therefore crucial that experts in water management and maintenance are consulted, guaranteeing a solution suited to the needs of the property. Our turnkey solutions ensure that municipal water bylaws are followed while saving our customers money and water. Our experience and expertise enable us to provide superior water solutions.
