Meters

Living with a meter on my house

Learn more about living with a meter on your house so you can feel confident your meter communicates your water consumption information safely, securely, and accurately.

Meter safety

Our meters are tested by Measurement Canada standards and are certified to be safe for you and your family. Our meters use low power radio frequency (RF) transmitters to communicate meter readings and weak RF fields in the range of 900 MHz are produced during the system’s normal operation. These fields comply with Health Canada guidelines by a very wide margin, ranging from hundreds to thousands times less than Health Canada limits.

RF exposure of most individuals will be predominated by other RF sources in the home such as cordless phones, wireless routers, and microwave ovens.

Smart meters

Smart meters are digital water meters that measure how much water is used and when it is used. Smart meters then store and send this data over a wireless network to a central repository. These smart meters allow you to track your usage online and take steps to manage your bills.
