The smart water meter installation has now been completed for Nhulunbuy Corporation. The meters will help improve the accuracy of water bills, reduce water waste in leaks, increase meter reliability and improve customer service.
Nhulunbuy is located on the Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory, approximately a nine-hour drive from Katherine via the Central Arnhem Road. It is the largest town in East Arnhem Land. Nhulunbuy is the service centre for nearby mining operations and the commercial base for the East Arnhem region.
Finding and addressing any wasted water will assist in delivering water services to the community as cost-effectively as possible and help increase water security. This will be a powerful tool for both the Finance and Infrastructure departments.
The smart water meters will provide the ability to collect hourly water consumption data on every household and business in Nhulunbuy and the nearby Industrial Estate, enabling quick and easy identification of leaks or issues in the water infrastructure.
While the area is extremely remote with harsh environmental conditions, Taggle is a proven solution up in the far north. Existing deployments include communities with Power & Water Corporation, Torres Strait Island Regional Council and Torres Shire Council.
The installation was completed by Data Right, Taggle’s authorised and experienced technicians. Data Right will now move on 3,900kms away to begin installing meters for Southern Downs Regional Council.
