Owners receive an SMS notification when the sub-meter detects a leak within their property, helping reduce the risk of property damage and encouraging timely maintenance.
Our dedicated meter readers visit the site monthly for easy drive-by readings and collect any system alerts such as detected leaks. We also ensure ad hoc readings are taken for when occupants move in or vacate to ensure they’re accurately billed for their water consumption.
Once the meter readings have been taken, we then issue individual bills to you as per the actual consumption. Bills are sent via email to the owner with a copy to their agent for recovery.
The Body Corporate switches from lot contribution method to Body Corporate billing method with their water provider. We issue individual bills to all owners for their actual measured water usage. Our Fair Water Bills service includes access to a portal where owners can monitor usage, manage their account and pay their bills. Body Corporate portal access and Site Reports including payment status provide complete visibility and control.
Fair Water Bills offer quarterly or monthly bills via email or by post, leak alerts via SMS, 7 convenient payment channels. MyAccount portal access provides insights for average daily usage and monthly spend, and average daily usage for the scheme.

Let us help you through the process
“We own a flat in an older building and rent it out. Every owner is responsible for paying a portion of the water bill. It was surprising to find out that another unit, which was rented out, was actually operating a commercial laundry! We swapped to Fair Water Meters and our tenant is so grateful … we passed on the savings by reducing his rent as it was the right thing to do.”
“When I purchased my one-bedroom apartment, I knew I would be splitting the water bill with 10 other owners, but had no idea that two of them had leaky toilets. Our bills halved after we switched to Fair Water Meters. Best decision our body corp ever made.”
“I was so sick of paying high water bills when I hardly used a drop! Sometimes I would get water bills for $350 when I had only been home one week in a month. I changed to a Fair Water Meter and now I am paying my fair share.”
“Sharing the bill when dining out can be fraught with danger. Sharing your water bill with your fellow apartment residents can be positively expensive! After switching to Fair Water Meters we discovered that one our fellow residents was running a day spa business from their apartment and we were subsidising them!”.
“We had a slow leak we didn’t know about in one of our units. It must have been there for years until Fair Water Meters were installed – their smart meters detected the leak in the first month and they texted us with the alert. Already they’re saving us money.”
“Fair Water Meters saved us serious money! It was an easy switch as the Fair Water Meters team guided our body corporate management through the simple process. Thank you Fair Water Meters!”
“Saving water is such an important and easy thing to do. Fair Water Meters is the only product I’ve found that enables residents to see how much water they are actually consuming. Do something for yourself and the environment and give the team at Fair Water Meters a call.”
“Switching to Fair Water Meters is the best move we’ve made in a long time!”
“Easy to switch. Saving money already by not paying for my neighbours long showers!”
