Unbilled and unaccounted for water is a constant concern for growing municipalities. The disparity between what you pump each year versus what the customer is billed for increases every year. This is usually a combination of leaks, theft, unmeasured and unaccounted for water.
It is probably no surprise to you that water meters do not measure for the total water usage of a home. Unmeasured water is non-revenue water. Water can flow at a rate below a meter’s design point which can account for as much as 25,000 gallons per household of unbilled water annually; water that is wasted and must be treated by the public wastewater system.

Would you consider buying a new product that could increase the measurement of billable water by as much as five to ten percent! Most cities and towns would jump at that opportunity. Water metering and billing is one of your primary revenue sources and today most cities and towns are being squeezed for every penny.

We have a new product that captures this low flow water and forces it through the meter, forcing nearly every drop to be registered by the water meter. Losses are reduced and customers are billed for the proper amount being used. This product can be added into the customers meter service at any time and in most cases requires no additional plumbing. The UFR simply replaces the outlet meter coupling that is attached to the water meter. It is technology that is unmatched to date in water measuring.
