Frequently Asked Questions 

What is sub-metering? 

Sub-metering involves installing additional water meters throughout your site to measure consumption in specific buildings, departments, processes or operational areas rather than relying solely on the main incoming meter. 

Where can sub-meters be installed? 

Sub-meters can be installed on individual buildings, production lines, irrigation systems, tenant supplies, departments or any location where greater visibility of water consumption is required. 

How does sub-metering help reduce water use? 

By identifying exactly where water is being consumed, organisations can quickly detect unusual usage, monitor improvements, benchmark performance and target water saving initiatives where they will have the greatest impact. 

Can sub-metering work alongside our existing monitoring system? 

Yes. Sub-meter data is integrated into Utilities Manager, providing one central platform for viewing both your main supply and individual sub-meter consumption.  

What makes Demeter's sub-metering service different? 

We don't simply install equipment. Our service combines professionally designed monitoring systems, our own installation team, Utilities Manager and ongoing analysis from experienced water savings specialists. This ensures your consumption data becomes meaningful operational intelligence that supports continuous improvement and long-term savings.
