Perth Smart Water Meter Pilot

Water Corporation is piloting 16,000 smart water meters across ten Perth districts since 2023, sending hourly readings and triggering Leak & Water Use Alerts when consumption runs continuously too long. It's a trial, not a rollout — only pilot properties are covered while Water Corp decides whether to deploy the technology citywide.
