The total number of smart water meters in the emirate has now exceeded 380,000. During the seven-month period, 39,746 meters were also tested at water meter laboratories to ensure their proper operation, as part of SEWA’s strategic plan to advance digital transformation and develop the water sector’s infrastructure.

Enhancing accuracy and efficiency

Engineer Faisal Al Serkal, Director of the Water Department at SEWA, said the project forms part of the Authority’s ongoing efforts to ensure measurement accuracy and enhance the efficiency of water services.

He added that SEWA is committed to applying the highest quality standards to provide reliable services, enhance the efficiency of the water distribution network, improve service quality, protect natural resources and increase customer satisfaction.

Al Serkal noted that key advantages of the new smart meters include accurate readings and the ability to detect abnormal water flows or leaks within properties, helping to prevent water wastage.

He stressed that SEWA is committed to deploying the latest technologies to serve residents across the Emirate of Sharjah. Meter installation and replacement works are being carried out according to a specified schedule covering residential, commercial and industrial areas, with technical teams implementing the work in accordance with the highest quality standards.
