New regulation demands evidence of network performance, clear justification for future investment, and a defined metering approach. Consumer metering provides the backbone of understanding water use, turning estimates into evidence for better decisions. If you don’t yet have a plan for universal metering, now is the time to get started and move forward with confidence.
Water metering is driven by different pressures in every community. The question is not whether to meter, but why, and how it aligns with your long-term objectives, regulatory expectations, and investment priorities.
Regulatory expectations are shifting toward evidence-based performance and sustainable water management. Infrastructure capacity is under pressure as communities grow, significant investment is looming to secure future supply, and many organisations still lack an accurate understanding of how water is being used. Ageing infrastructure, environmental limits, and rising community expectations are increasing the need to optimise existing assets before building new ones.
A clear strategic case for metering brings these drivers together and creates alignment across partners, decision-makers, and stakeholders.
