Water New Zealand Good Practice Guide - Water Metering of customers on reticulated supplies
With summer heat waves hitting the country, many water suppliers will have water demand management initiatives front of mind. For those suppliers considering adding water metering to their demand management toolkit, the Water New Zealand “Water Metering of Customers on Reticulated Supplies” Good Practice Guide is freely available in the associations’ technical library on its website. The guide draws on contemporary experiences of water managers and metering specialists to provide a one stop reference guide for a range of metering issues. These include shared meter management, meter installations, meter reading protocols, locations, renewals programmes, standards and calibration. This Good Practice Guide is one of many, all freely accessible, from the Technical Library of the Water New Zealand Knowledge Base: https://www.waternz.org.nz/library
