These are our smart water meters.

I decided last week to register my meter on the narrabri.miwater.co web site, just to see how much water my household uses. Two days later I got a text that said “Possible leak at your property. 55 l/hr” It seemed a bit unlikely that they would know that, so I got it checked. Sure enough, there was a small leak under the house.

55 l/hr isn’t much in the scheme of things, but it adds up when you multiply it over 24 hours every day. At the current cost of 97 c/kl that was costing me $1.28 per day. Again it’s not much, but over 3 months that adds up to an extra $116 per bill.

I love Narrabri Shire, but I can do better things with my money than pay for wasted water.

So if you use water you need to go to the web site with your water bill in your hand. Sign up and you might end up saving money.

Congratulations to the Shire for making this service available. If we have to have water meters, we might as well have ones that work for the customers.
