Water Management in a Sectional Title Scheme
Utility management on shared properties can be a daunting task. Traditional water metering methods often lack accuracy and real-time insights, making it difficult to pinpoint leaks or unusual consumption patterns promptly.
A body corporate allocates a monthly and yearly budget towards utility costs. The total water and sewerage costs allocated by the municipality are accommodated in this budget, as is the total water (Kl) used by each unit within the sectional title scheme. If the water utility cost is in excess of the allocated budget, the body corporate is responsible for covering the shortfall. This can directly impact the financial stability of the community.
Smart water meters leverage technology to offer a more intelligent and efficient approach to water management.
Smart water meter in Sectional Title Schemes
These meters are equipped with cutting-edge features that provide real-time data on water consumption, leak detection, and usage patterns. The data is transmitted digitally and can be monitored remotely, promptly addressing any anomalies. WUS preferred smart water for residential installations is the Kamstrup flowIQ 2000. With accurate, state-of-the-art built-in acoustic leakage detection and flexible remote reading technology, the meter alerts the user to service connections and distribution mains problems in their water use. This technology also eliminates the utility burden for body corporates.
By installing smart water meters, water consumed by each unit is now recorded by the meter and the cost thereof is charged to the owner of the unit. The water utility cost is therefore no longer paid by the BC, meaning the money that has been budgeted for, based on levies payable monthly by the owner, can now be “saved”. Used to subsidise levies, shared space utility costs, or included in the building maintenance budget.
