Customer water meters are the cash register for the water utility and the vast majority of water meters for registering customer usage are mechanical devices. Like all mechanical devices, they wear with age and this in turn leads to a loss of measurement accuracy and to a potential loss of revenue for the water utility.
Regular testing of random samples of customer meters can provide data to quantify the level of revenue loss being experienced. Regular testing may also identify whether any particular make or type of meter is fairing better or worse under the specific local conditions.
For commercial customers, having the correct size of meter to match the specific profile of water use by the customer is essential in optimizing the measurement accuracy.
