Harare dropped 879 smart water meters in Warren Park 1, and residents are apparently hyped because they finally get to pay for what they actually use instead of dealing with sketchy billing. The capital already got 20,000 meters from suppliers, and another 40,000 units are supposed to show up soon to speed things along.
People keep hitting up the city council asking when their neighborhoods get the meters, which shows they actually trust this thing might work. The whole point is cutting down on water theft and leaks while making the billing less shady, and once everything rolls out across town, it should kill most of the fights between residents and municipal workers about inflated water bills.
