The Challenge

Located in Kasavanahalli, Bangalore, is an apartment complex of 36 flats. They relied on borewells, but the borewells produced less water over time. Consequently, they had to acquire numerous water tankers and incurred higher water expenses. The property consumed 13,000 Liters per day and paid exorbitant water consumption costs

The Solution

To address this, they considered installing 95 water meters which would measure the amount of water used by each flat. This helped the society with 3 main benefits,

Each household is billed for the water it actually uses.
Meter readings encourage residents to be more conscious of their water usage.
Volumetric pricing is introduced where, instead of a flat rate, a higher rate is charged for higher volumes. This is an added incentive to use less water.
