Similarly, water supply companies are also facing aging infrastructure. , Difficulties in maintenance, and consumers’ growing challenges to service requirements.Oracle's “water testing” report shows that water supply companies have recognized that smart metering technology will have a major impact on their operations and that there is still a great deal of attention to consumer education and communication. Large space.Smart water meter technology provides consumers with practical demand data, enabling them to make more informed decisions about water use."

Alisa Mann, customer service manager for Las Vegas Basin Water District, said: “In the Las Vegas basin, we have long noticed that providing consumers with targeted water-saving information can help them change their water use behavior.” The Water Testing" report provides very important data on the benefits and difficulties associated with the application of smart water meter technology. Cost is a very important factor, but many water companies cannot see the impact of smart water meter technology on its development.
