Clean water is one of the main sectors in smart city that need well management. One of the clean water management is utilization of water meters. The smart meter is more suitable applied for smart city. Recent Smart Water Meter allows water authorities to obtain water consumption data remotely. It also provides ability to collect and record the data in real time that can be utilised for multipurpose. However, in Indonesia, the water meters are used only to measure the total volume of clean water consumption for billing purpose only using mechanical water meter and requires labour intensive manual. Currently, many researches on smart meter design have been developed. However, the smart meter only measure and record the water consumption, without ability in which customer can determine the amount of water as needed. This paper describes design and development of smart water metering with Internet of Things. Flow meter is used as a sensor of water flowing through the pipe. The ability of the proposed smart meter is not only to measure and to record the volume water consumed, but also the customer can determine the water desired and required. The volume of water measured by the smart meter is compared with the manual measurement. The result shows that the water measured manually differs slightly from smart meter measurement using water flow sensor. The maximum difference, error, is 0.03 litres. The proposed smart meter has ability to close the main valve once the determined amount of water is reached.

“…There are many ways in which it is possible to complete the meter reading. Direct reading, remote reading, touch reading, and automatic meter reading are the most common (Mwangi, Mwangi, & Karimi, 2016). Plain reading is where an individual directly reads the meter register.…”

This paper aims to identify hawkers’ satisfaction with a local authority water meter reading management. Three years ago, the licensing and business development department installed meter readers at the hawker centres. Currently, water meter readers are no longer available, causing the department substantial losses. There are complaints on the use of bulk meters that the amount charged each month is indifferent. Several water meters in the hawker centres are not working correctly, resulting in difficulties by the authority to process the correct amount of water bills. The hawkers need to travel to the headquarters to make payment, making it more difficult. Hawkers are not happy because they have to pay the same amount though they might have consumed less than others. A total of 176 questionnaires was distributed to 500 hawkers in Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH). Data were analysed using SPSS. The results showed that only one variable, water meter management, has a significant and weak relationship, influencing hawkers’ satisfaction. This finding will give an excellent insight to the local authority in better control of water meter reading at hawker centres.

Clean water service providers in Indonesia are still recording water meters as water usage data with manual recording by record collector. Alternative solutions for recording water meters from previous research use the Internet of Things (IoT) or image recognition that is processed on a server. The solutions rely on the Internet which is unsuitable with Indonesia’s condition. This study proposes a water meter reading system that can work on mobile devices without using the Internet. The system works by utilizing optical character recognition (OCR) using the Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM-RNN) method. LSTM-RNN is a classification method in artificial neural network which has feedback. The results show that the water meter reading system could work without using an Internet connection. The average time it takes to perform the reading process is 2285ms even on Android device with low specification. The overall reading accuracy is 86%. Single value reading accuracy, when the digit meter displays only 1 number, is 97%, while the accuracy of double value reading, when the digit meter displays 2 numbers, is 18%.
