广湾水务公司正在其供水网络中实施自动抄表技术。这项技术允许使用Firefly®数据记录仪和Commstar软件远程测量和评估住宅和商业层面的用水量。通过使用Firefly®，可以每小时记录一次用水模式，并通过驾车系统存储以供收集。本文介绍了宽湾水务公司与格里菲斯大学联合在昆士兰州赫维湾进行的一项试点研究的结果。其目的是确定选定的地区计量区域(DMA)内住宅物业的住户漏水情况。研究结果包括水表住宅物业的用水概况、遇到的漏水类型和维修漏水的费用。在项目开始时，发现2%的仪表占夜间消耗时间的24%。这项研究提供了证据，证明自动抄表技术可以量化表外的漏水。
Wide Bay Water Corporation is in the process of implementing automated meter reading technology in their water network. This technology allows the remote measurement and evaluation of water consumption at a residential and commercial level using a FIREFLY® data logger and Commstar software. By using the FIREFLY®, water usage patterns can be recorded each hour and stored for collection via a drive-by system. This paper presents the findings from a pilot study in Hervey Bay Queensland that Wide Bay Water Corporation has undertaken in conjunction with Griffith University. The objective was to identify household water leakage in residential properties located within a selected district metered area (DMA). Research outcomes include a water use profile of the metered residential properties, the types of leaks encountered and the cost of leak repairs. At the commencement of the program it was found that 2% of the meters accounted for 24% of the night time consumption. This study provides evidence that automated meter reading technology can quantify water leakage beyond the meter.
