SMART METERS FAQ:
What is a smart meter?
A smart meter is an electronic, digital meter that replaces older mechanical meters to measure water usage at the home. The added benefits include mobile and web app integration, leak alerts, and high-usage alerts. Older, mechanical meters have a tendency to wear out and can face issues after 1M gallons, and smart meters help address this problem.
