A technology upgrade could save Dunedin City Council commercial water customers cash. Council 3 Waters contract delivery manager Chris Jones said the council was about to start a trial to upgrade water meters for ‘‘non-domestic, commercial customers’’ to new, smart, meters. ‘‘There is a range of technology available and an ideal solution would provide a portal for customers who can track their water usage. The existing meters were due for replacement, he said, and the council was tendering for a request for proposals to identify potential suppliers and start a trial later this year. The trial would run for four to six months to evaluate the smart water meters’ performance before a contract was awarded.
