Whether you have a smart meter fleet or not, the challenge of maintaining that fleet, checking zero consumption reads for faulty meters or AMR’s, replacing those faulty meters and undertaking planned small- or large-scale meter replacement programs requires resources and a skill set with an attention to detail and a process to ensure that those replacements flow through to Councils assets and billing systems in the correct way. Data Right have highly experienced plumbers and data capturers that have undertaken thousands of meter and AMR replacements for both smart and non-smart water meters. We also have a proven Quality Assurance process that ensures 100% data accuracy of the old meter read, new meter number, correct address allocation, capture of longitude and latitude information etc. This provides the Council with the peace of mind that their meter fleet, asset management system and billing system are all accurate. Councils can also be assured that our interactions with residents are undertaken with the highest level of professionalism. Our staff are courteous and ensure minimal customer complaints. Our tradesmen pride themselves on the quality of the work undertaken to ensure post-replacement leaks etc. are minimal. All of the above undertaken by a team who are solely focused on the meter replacement program and not distracted by more urgent tasks.

Council can manage its meter fleet with the highest of confidence around the outcome for its external and internal stakeholders, all at a very reasonable price.
