Transforming Management: Powertel’s Smart Metering Initiative
Powertel Communications is excited to announce its latest initiative: the Advanced Smart Water Metering Solution. This groundbreaking project aims to enhance municipal water management across Zimbabwe, aligning with our commitment to innovation and sustainable development.
The Challenge
Water management in Zimbabwe faces significant challenges, including inefficient billing practices, high water loss due to leaks, and inadequate infrastructure. Traditional methods often rely on estimated billing, leading to revenue losses and strained municipal budgets.
The Smart Solution
Powertel’s Smart Water Metering Solution offers advanced, battery-powered meters that operate for over a decade without external electricity. Key features include:
• Real-Time Data: Instantaneous water usage data helps municipalities manage
resources effectively.
• Leak Detection and Alerts: Early warnings enable proactive maintenance, reducing water
wastage.
• Customer Empowerment: A mobile-friendly portal allows residents to track their consumption
and receive alerts.
Strategic Alignment
Our initiative supports the pillars of the National Development Strategy (NDS2) and contributes to
Zimbabwe’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By modernizing water services, we help local
authorities achieve better financial and operational sustainability
