Introduction
Water billing challenges are one of the biggest threats to community-managed water schemes. Traditional postpaid billing systems often lead to unpaid bills, disputes, and system collapse.
Prepaid water meter systems are transforming water supply management in Kenya and Africa.
What Is a Prepaid Water Meter System?
A prepaid water meter allows users to:
- Load credit before using water
- Automatically deduct water usage from balance
- Avoid debt accumulation
This model works similarly to prepaid electricity tokens.
