ABSTRACT
a tedious job and throughout the years this method tends to show noticeable
disadvantages.
This study aims to develop an automatic water meter reading system that will
enhance the water meter data collection by utilizing wireless technology using Web-based
It consists of the hardware and the software design. The hardware involves the
tablet, an android phone, and a desktop or a laptop. While the software is developed in
order to receive and to store data into the database and output graphically. Test will be
used to conduct and to verify if the readings from the design are comparable to the actual
With thorough study, research and survey, the implementation of the application
gathered positive feedbacks from various individuals. As an effect, it enables the meter
reader to easy read the line meter of water consumer and finish the task accurately and
fast. It is easier to use the application for water consumers to check their bills anytime at
their ease. To sum up, electronic water meter with remote monitoring and billing system
offers more convenience than using the traditional way process of billing system.
