Damyang-gun Installs Wireless Remote Water Meter Reading Devices

Enhancing Reliability of Water Billing Through Accurate Meter Reading Data

Wireless Remote Metering System Implementation Prevents Leaks, Enables Early Detection, and Saves Water

On the 16th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that as part of the smart water network maintenance infrastructure project, it will invest 2.4 billion KRW to install wireless remote metering devices in 16,500 households by the end of the year.

The installation of the devices is scheduled to proceed sequentially starting from the 20th, and efforts are being made to provide prior notice to residents through distribution of promotional materials and village broadcasts.

The wireless remote metering devices are digital meters that allow real-time monitoring of water usage. Once the remote metering system is established, it will help prevent water waste by enabling real-time detection of leaks and excessive usage, and increase the reliability of billing through accurate metering data.

Currently, meter readers visit each household once a month to check the meter readings and input the usage data for billing.

Because of this, there have been complaints regarding privacy invasion of households, various billing disputes such as leaks, and difficulties in meter reading due to environmental and geographical constraints.

After the installation of the devices, remote metering will be conducted through stages including the establishment of the remote metering system and server integration.

Once this system is fully operational, it is expected to greatly contribute to improving the water service rate by billing based on accurate metering data and managing usage in real time.

A county official stated, “We will do our best to supply clean tap water by providing high-quality water administration services that efficiently manage and respond using analysis data from the remote metering system.”
