Why Individual Water Meters Make Sense in Sectional Title Schemes

Did you know that installing individual water meters in your Sectional Title Scheme can benefit both the Body Corporate and owners?

Here’s why more schemes are making the switch:

• Fair Billing – Pay for what you use. Individual meters ensure owners are charged based on actual water consumption, not estimates or shared usage.
• Encourages Water-Saving – When people see what they’re using (and paying for), they’re more likely to reduce wastage — helping both the environment and the Scheme’s water bills.
• Better Budget Control – Accurately separating water costs makes it easier for the Body Corporate to manage levies and avoid disputes over water usage.
• Leak Detection Made Easier – Spikes in individual meter readings help quickly identify leaks, saving the Scheme from expensive water losses.
• Transparency – Individual meters provide a clear, transparent system where all owners know exactly what they are being charged for, fostering trust and fairness.
• Increased Property Value – Schemes with individual water meters are seen as more modern and efficient, which can be an attractive feature for potential buyers, adding value to your property.
