RFID meters to track water leakage online

In a move to boost revenues, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) is rolling out a mega plan of fixing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) water meters. It might be a costly affair, but the cash-strapped Water Board says it was forced to propose RFID meters as it wants to plug thousands of gallons of water lost due to leakages. As per a pilot project, the Water Board has selected three sections, including Jubilee Hills in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Division-VI, Red Hills in O&M Division-IV and Gachibowli in O&M Division-XV for the project.
