Explore our water metering offerings
We offer flexible service models to suit your operational and financial needs:
Metering as a Service (MaaS)
A full end-to-end solution — from meter supply and installation through to ongoing operations and data delivery.
PLUS ES owns the water meters and recovers costs through an annual annuity over the life of the contract.
Data as a Service (DaaS)
The utility owns the water meters and pays for them upfront post installation and commissioning.
PLUS ES manages the rest — operations, communications, and data delivery — for a smaller annual fee.
We also offer the option of starting with MaaS and transitioning to DaaS during the contract period.

The utility use the data which is delivered for customer billing and benefits realisation, similar to the way most utilities currently manage manual meter reading.
- Flexible funding arrangement to suit your needs, minimising the upfront investment required.
