Marondera Municipality, in collaboration with Helcraw, has intensified preparations for the rollout of prepaid smart water meters.
The project is aiming to modernize water management and enhance service delivery.
The municipality recently conducted a three-day intensive training program.
It was designed to equip technical staff with skills and knowledge to operate, manage, and maintain the new smart metering system.
Marondera Municipality Town Clerk, Rinashe Nyamuzihwa, emphasized that this training was a crucial aspect of the council’s strategy to ensure a smooth and efficient implementation of the technology.
He noted that the partnership with Helcraw is also focused on conducting thorough assessments of the current water network.
This will identify required upgrades and modifications prior to the installation of the prepaid smart meters.
Nyamuzihwa highlighted that this initiative aims to revolutionize water management by granting residents increased control over their water consumption.
The prepaid smart meters are anticipated to allow ratepayers to manage their water needs more effectively.
The Town Clerk remarked that investing in modern technology reflects the municipality’s broader dedication to aligning its services with the Minimum Service Delivery Standards.
This project is also part of Marondera’s larger goal of achieving city status by modernizing municipal infrastructure and embracing smart technologies.
