When designing the meter, an important requirement was the ability to differentiate between leakage and legitimate use to assist in billing and prioritisation of supply pipe leak repairs.
A detailed specification was developed, which included:
- Leakage data (location, rate, duration and date)
- The need for varied tariff application, such as monthly, time-of-day, seasonal and peak week rates
- An efficient AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) system, including real-time data transmission for time-of-day tariff application
- Flexibility in the data collection method to enable migration between different reading technologies
- Peak-week demand data (current and previous year)
