Water meter expansion will be fueledWater meter expansion will be fueled

• Water meter growth to improve metering penetration

• AMR and AMI would identify these breaches and leaks real time, avoiding billions of dollars lost revenues

• NRW (Non revenue water) estimated to 16 Billion $ a year

Water meter penetration rates are very low across many developed and emerging regions
