This initiative involves the renewal of 500 residential meters during the current year, which will be added to the 1,759 already equipped with this technology. This replacement will increase the current coverage from 66% to 85% by the end of this year. The remaining 374 meters will be changed in 2027, thus consolidating the entire service with a total of 2,633 meters.
Telemetry involves the use of smart meters that record and transmit water consumption data to a central system. This tool enables operators to quickly detect leaks, control consumption, and optimize the planning of the distribution network. Furthermore, users can monitor their hourly consumption, receive personalized email alerts if a set consumption limit is exceeded or continuous use is detected, helping to reduce their water footprint.
“"The modernization of the meters will not represent any additional cost to the residents of Llívia, as the installation cost is already included in the supply service. This improvement will allow us to gain efficiency and detect losses or possible frauds occurring in the network."
Beyond the preservation of water resources, telemetry also contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions due to improved operational efficiency in the energy management of the water network.
“"The implementation of telemetry throughout the municipality will allow a step forward in the modernization of Llívia's water network. The incorporation of digital technologies will help improve service efficiency, reduce water losses, and strengthen the town's water resilience in the face of climate challenges."
