👉 The Metres Project is an initiative launched by the City of London Corporation to address the significant issue of meter theft, which has plagued the city's water and gas meters for decades. By combining cutting-edge technology with community engagement, the project aims to replace all old meters with modern, tamper-proof ones. Each meter is equipped with an RFID chip that records usage data, making it nearly impossible for thieves to alter readings without detection. The project also involves public awareness campaigns and partnerships with local businesses and residents to foster a culture of vigilance and cooperation. Through these efforts, the Metres Project seeks to ensure reliable service delivery, reduce water and energy waste, and ultimately save the city millions in costs associated with meter theft.
