Metro meters are used for sub-metering.
Sub-metering works where someone wants to share an existing (metered) MAIN supply of water or electricity with others.
The basic requirements for sub metering by Metro are:
- A main (metered) supply of electricity or water from Eskom or the local Council exists
- The main supply is billed to a person or entity who is responsible for paying for it
- The main supply is used to feed electricity or water to others (units, flats, rooms, sheds etc)
- The person or entity paying the bill wants to meter and collect the water or electricity usage from the others sharing it
Typical users would be:
Single Owner Properties :
- main house with several dwellings in the backyard
- separate entrances e.g. wendy-houses, sheds, shacks
- house divided into rooms
- commercial/retail building with several shops or units
- business park with multiple units
- blocks of flats
- residential complexes with multiple units
- student accommodation
- workers accommodation (e.g. farms)
- caravan parks
- holiday lets
- events where electricity usage needs to be metered
e.g. food trucks, fair stalls, stadiums, exhibitors etc. - or any other instance where electricity/water usage payment need to be collected or recovered
Body corporate / HOA / Managing Agent :
- sectionalised flats
