Water scarcity status in regions around the world, including the UK, Australia, the Middle East and mainland Europe is having a clear effect on water resource strategy. Water companies are more and more implementing demand and supply side measures (alternative methods of supply) to address potential shortfalls that are predicted for the years to come.
In other areas, such as certain regions of the U.S., the Middle East and Africa, the presence of grit in the water supply damages mechanical water meters, rendering them inaccurate, often within days of installation. The cost of this lost revenue for water companies through progressive inaccuracies can be huge. Conversely, in areas where the water supply is not permanent, air is frequently experienced in the network as supplies are made available each day. This represents a cost for customers with mechanical meters that register air as well and water.
Severn Trent Services offers a range of meters, through the SmartMeterTM brand, to address the issues caused by grit and air. The company also provides a state-of-the-art pre-payment metering system that ensures that valuable customer pre-paid credits are not lost due to air in the network. Severn Trent Services offers a comprehensive range of intelligent water metering solutions, such as AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) technology and boundary boxes.

- SmartMeterTM In-line meters
- SmartMeterTM Concentric meters
