LAISON smart water meter solutions: Combating illegal water usage for sustainable NRW reduction
LAISON addresses the challenge of meter dismantling with an innovative detection technology. This solution proactively integrates advanced internal sensors and sophisticated algorithms within the water meters.

One of the primary contributors to high Non-Revenue Water (NRW) in water utilities is the issue of illegal water usage, notably meter tampering and bypassing. Such unauthorized activities not only lead to inaccurate meter readings and under-reported consumption but also result in significant financial losses for utilities. These actions undermine the push for equitable billing practices and sustainable water management.
Enhanced meter dismantle detection:
LAISON addresses the challenge of meter dismantling with an innovative detection technology. This solution proactively integrates advanced internal sensors and sophisticated algorithms within the water meters, offering a more stable and tamper-resistant approach compared to traditional external sensors.
Advanced bypass tampering countermeasures:

LAISON smart water meters log hourly consumption data, enabling the analysis of anomalies that may indicate bypass scenarios. For instance, unusual patterns such as zero water consumption during expected usage periods can be swiftly identified.
Instant alarm notification system:
Upon detection of tampering, an immediate alarm is dispatched to the central system or administrators via SMS, Email, or other communication channels. The alarm status is designed to be cleared only through the use of specific tools or systems, ensuring a heightened level of security.

Discouraging tampering and promoting responsible use:
These features are designed to deter unauthorized access and encourage responsible water consumption. Utilities benefit from reduced manual inspection needs and improved revenue protection.
