Water utilities, property developers, institutions, and residential estates are increasingly turning to smart water metering solutions to improve efficiency, accountability, and sustainability. The Prepaid Smart Water Meter with LoRaWAN Gateway (AMI) by Maji Milele is a modern, intelligent system designed to transform how water is monitored, billed, and managed.
What Is a Prepaid Smart Water Meter?
A Prepaid Smart Water Meter allows consumers to pay for water in advance, similar to prepaid electricity. Water usage is deducted automatically from the available credit, ensuring full transparency and control over consumption. Once the credit is exhausted, the water supply is temporarily suspended until a top-up is made.
This system removes billing disputes, eliminates estimated bills, and encourages responsible water usage.
Understanding LoRaWAN Technology
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, long-range wireless communication technology specifically designed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In smart water metering, LoRaWAN enables meters to transmit consumption data securely over long distances with minimal power usage.
With LoRaWAN, Maji Milele’s smart meters can:
- Transmit data reliably even in dense urban areas or remote locations
- Operate for years on battery power
- Reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs
What Is AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure)?
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the backbone of modern utility management. It allows two-way communication between the water meter and the utility provider.
Through AMI, water utilities and property managers can:
- Monitor water consumption in real time
- Detect leaks, abnormal usage, or tampering early
- Perform remote meter readings without physical visits
- Control water supply remotely when needed
This creates a fully automated and efficient water management ecosystem.

Early detection of leaks and unauthorized usage helps reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW).
3. Improved Revenue Collection
Prepaid systems ensure utilities and property owners receive payment before consumption, improving cash flow and reducing debt.
4. Operational Efficiency
Remote meter reading and system monitoring reduce operational costs and eliminate the need for manual inspections.
