Smart Meters

As Californians, we know it’s important to be water-conscious. That’s why we installed improved water meters across the City of Santa Maria. With virtually 100 percent coverage across households and businesses, the Sensus iPerl smart water meters use a secure radio network to provide accurate water usage data from the City's infrastructure. This technology helps the department to detect irregular usage patterns, quickly identify potential leaks, and import meter readings into utility billing software.

This tool saves staff time and reduces costs while empowering residents with precise information about their water usage. This data not only helps Santa Maria residents save money but also promotes water conservation, allowing everyone to contribute to the sustainability of our community's water resources.
