      Hi All

      Currently in our block of 12 units, there is one water meter which services all 12 units. Bills are received quarterly and divided up evenly between the units to pay. This hasn’t been a problem until the past couple of years when the water bills have fluctuated madly (sometimes almost doubling between quarters). We know it’s not a leak issue as we have checked the mains so obviously one (or more) units are causing this spike. Has anyone had any experience in retro fitting meters or loggers to pre-existing units like this so we are able to monitor individual unit usage. I have heard from strata managers that Sydney Water has been working on developSmileing an electronic flow meter which is connected to the pipes on individual units and relays this information to a central point for collation but I don’t know how far away they are from making this commercially available.What I wanted to know if what’s available and the costs involved.

      Any thoughts would be welcome.
