Can a smart meter have a statement?

How much water is used in each month? Don't know! On August 14th, Mr. Sun, who lives in the new Jiangnan Community, told reporters that the water in the residential area was paid for and then used water, but the balance and the remaining amount of water could not be seen on the water meter. Only the balance was known at the time of each recharge but not displayed. The details of water use are inconvenient.

It is understood that the new Jiangnan Community has been using remote-controlled valve-controlled intelligent water meters since 2007, and it is also one of the early adopters of this newly-developed remote-controlled valve pre-payment system. When this type of water meter was first installed, it was said to be a three-year trial, but it has not been replaced yet. The water meter will automatically deduct the water fee every three days. If the user fails to pay the fee beyond the stipulated date, the user will automatically stop the water. After the payment is made, the water meter function switch will be used to normal use. When the remaining water volume of the user's water meter is 3 cubic meters, the water meter will automatically close the valve to remind the user to recharge as soon as possible. At this time, the user toggles the switch and the water meter continues to pass water. However, if you forget the recharge, your family will face the embarrassment of stopping the water.

Mr. Sun believes that “almost every two months we have to go to the south branch of the city to recharge money. After filling it up, we don’t know about the consumption situation last month.” Because he couldn’t see the details of the bill, he was always “in the dark”. a feeling of. For example, when the water meter prompts that there are 3 cubic meters of water, it could last for a few days, but once the water leaks from the toilet at home, it may run out of water at once, and the whole family will experience water loss without detailed bills. It is difficult to notice the abnormal situation of water use.

It was learned from the water company that the new Jiangnan community will not be replaced back to the original water meter, and the newly developed real estate will also use this intelligent water meter, and the public can choose to refill the water company or the construction bank. The water company does not provide bills. There are various ways to get information on the water use of the household tap water, such as calling the water company's phone number or visiting the company's website. But for some older people, they are not accustomed to this modern way of inquiry.

In addition, it was also stated that the smart water meter itself can directly inquire about the water situation. As long as the diagram in the Appendix is ​​referenced and the function switch is toggled, the remaining amount, remaining water amount, accumulated amount and accumulated water amount will be displayed. However, Mr. Sun said that the water meter “dark” doesn’t make much sense. It is suggested that when recharging, the water company can provide paper accounts for the needy citizens like the telecommunications company. After all, tap water is also a kind of consumer behavior. The public should be made aware of their consumption situation.
