Smart Water Meter Replacement Programme

Saldanha Bay Municipality is replacing older mechanical water meters with new ultrasonic smart water meters (Kamstrup MULTICAL® 21) across the entire municipal area. The new meters provide more accurate water usage readings, help detect leaks early, reduce the need for manual meter readings, and support better management of the water network. The programme does not involve prepaid water systems, so water supply will not be cut off based on usage. Residents will continue to receive monthly water accounts as normal.

Who it is for: residents of Saldanha Bay Municipality who have water meters
How to act on it: No action required by residents; the municipality will install the new meters without application or registration.
