SEDAPAL, the utility serving Lima and Callao, began piloting smart water meters in November 2024 that let staff remotely close and reopen a household's supply valve within seconds — the utility calls it a first in its history. The initial stage covered about 43 meters, prioritising hospitals, clinics, community dining halls and schools; service auto-restores once an overdue bill is paid, cutting reconnection waits to within the 24-hour regulatory limit.
