Smart metres have greater accuracy than traditional metres in monitoring water consumption. They can send alerts to customers in case of leaks or extraordinary water consumption. They also lead to minimal water loss and conservation of water resources.

The authority's move to replace mechanical metres is in line with the vision Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to provide advanced infrastructure, digital transformation, and the use of smart systems in the emirate.
