Metering-as-a-Service – A Revolutionary Approach To Advance The Water Industry

By Bruce Bharat, Kamstrup

With MaaS, municipalities can redirect their focus and their budget from meter-related concerns to more critical issues. The inventory-managed program eliminates utility concerns over meter maintenance, installation, and uptime. It also leverages system data to transition metering practices from reactive to proactive and greatly helps in stemming non-revenue water losses.

Utilities that implement MaaS also free up their talent to work on other problems and challenges. Invest in those staff members. Train them to do other jobs, such as finding system leaks that drive non-revenue water losses.

MaaS offers a superior meter and embedded acoustic leak detection. By teaming up with Sustainability Partners, Kamstrup is able to offer this service to utilities within a predictable monthly usage cost structure that includes maintenance and replacement costs, rather than a large capital expense every 20 years.
