The TMWA team is excited to announce that substantial progress has been made on the installation of Sensus smart water meters throughout its service area. At this time, a broad majority of our customers now have smart meters installed.
Smart meters will improve our customers’ ability to manage water use, save money and quickly mitigate the damage that undetected water leaks can cause.
Here is an overview of benefits:
- Real-Time Data and Leak Detection: Through your TMWA Online account, customers with smart meters can monitor daily water consumption and spot irregularities immediately.
- Accurate and Reliable Water Usage Tracking: Unlike older meters, Sensus meters don’t rely on mechanical parts, which can wear down over time. This allows for more accurate readings—helping to prevent incorrect billing
- Improved Water Conservation: With accurate, real-time data, you can easily track water consumption and adopt water-saving habits. For businesses, this is especially beneficial for managing large-scale operations.
- Long-Term Durability and Efficiency: Sensus meters are designed to last 20 years or more, reducing the need for maintenance or replacement. Running with minimal energy use, these improved meters will help reduce operational costs which help keep water rates as low as possible.
- Preventing System Losses: This system-wide improvement will help TMWA respond more quickly to system issues saving water and reducing troubleshooting when a problem is suspected.
Approximately 76% of TMWA customers can access their smart meter data online. Full system installation is expected in summer of 2025.
