Elster to provide water metres in UAE

Germany-based electricity, gas and water measurement and control provider, Elster, has been selected by the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) to provide 33,000 units of its V100 volumetric water metres in the UAE.

Elster water metering business regional general manager Gary Vincent said: "Elster’s highly accurate water metering technology can support water utilities, such as SEWA to effectively manage precious water resources in the Gulf region."

The metres are available in different sizes ranging from 15mm to 40mm and are compliant with international ISO 4064 standards.

SEWA had earlier placed an order with Elster in November 2011 to supply 30,000 units of the same type of water metres to support the Authority’s water metering programmes.

In other operational updates, the company had also received a contract from Companhia de Saneamento de Minas Gerais (COPASA), Brazil’s second largest water utility to supply up to 110,000 S120 single-jet water meters over the next eight months.
