The Public Utilities Board (PUB), Singapore’s national water agency, will roll out the first phase of its smart water meter programme in 2021. The seven locations covered under the project are Bukit Batok, Hougang, Jurong West, Tampines, Tuas, Tampines North and Tengah. Around 300,000 meters will be installed in homes and commercial and industrial buildings at these locations by 2023. Residents and business owners in these areas will be able to monitor their consumption and use water more efficiently with the deployment of the meters. Further, the data from the meters, including when in the day usage spikes, will also help PUB plan for changes that need to be made to the water system.
