Abstract: In recent years, with the emergence of a large number of high-rise residential quarters, meter reading billing for residential water meters has gradually shifted from the original manual door-to-door meter reading to remote automatic meter reading. This is an inevitable requirement for the development of the information age. This action not only eases the labor intensity of meter reading staff, increases the efficiency of meter reading, but also saves the cost of meter reading labor and promotes the development of property management.

In recent years, with the emergence of a large number of high-rise residential quarters, meter reading and billing problems for residential water meters have gradually shifted from the original manual door-to-door meter reading to remote automatic meter reading. This is an inevitable requirement for the development of the information age. This action not only eases the labor intensity of meter reading staff, increases the efficiency of meter reading, but also saves the cost of meter reading labor and promotes the development of property management.
