This paper deals with automatically collecting the Water consumption by a customer and also detecting the leakages in the water distribution system. Water leakage is an important component of water losses. In addition to raising consumer awareness of their water use, metering is also an important way to identify and localize water leakage. A leak detection program can be highly proactive, helping water utilities automate water systems, detecting problem areas earlier, giving customers tools to monitor water use, providing more accurate rates and reducing demand. The objective is to overcome the disadvantages of using current meter technology and make the billing and troubleshooting process faster along with reducing the wastage of water. GSM and ZigBee technology automatically collects consumption, diagnoses, and collects status data from energy meter and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This advancement saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is billing can be based on near real time consumption rather than on estimates based on previous or predicted consumption. This timely information coupled with analysis, can help both utility providers and customers better control to the use and production of water consumption.
