The Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) is planning to invest Sh1 billion in the next three years to install smart meters that could help cut fraud in its billing system and enable it to tap the revenue it needs to improve supply.
The devices, to be initially installed for the top 10,000 water users, will record the amount of water consumed and remotely — through mobile and radio networks — convey the information back to centralised servers.
