What Is meter.me?

The meter.me system is a water system for a changing planet®. It brings intelligent monitoring and real-time water loss alerts to rural residents, farmers and businesses, delivering superior results at a fraction of the cost of legacy SCADA systems.

Our platform combines long-range, low-power wide-area network technology, a solar-powered IoT network, and cloud automation technology to provide something rural water users have never had before: persistent visibility into their water systems, including:

Remote visibility of water levels
Leak detection
Pump and valve control
Automated alerts

Existing solutions rely on cellular connectivity, short-range Wi-Fi, and even wired networks, none of which are designed for rural environments. Only meter.me combines long-range low-power technology and cloud hosting to deliver always-available data that doesn’t depend on cellular coverage.

Why Does meter.me Exist?

The meter.me system exists to solve a longstanding problem with serious consequences: water loss in rural areas, which leads to groundwater depletion.

Unlike water systems in urban and suburban contexts, rural property owners must manage their own water use. Farmers, vineyards, and even governmental entities must extract water from the aquifer independently and reliably.
But overproduction and unmanaged growth threatens to deplete the aquifer— eventually leading to collapse, something we’ve already seen far too often here in California.

Rural water users need a solution that helps them:
– Extract water independently and reliably, even under increasingly harsh conditions
– Protect the aquifer from further abuse
– Gain reliable visibility into their own water systems (including leak detection and tank level monitoring)

Meter.me exists to be that solution.

We first recognized the problem of unmanaged, “invisible” rural water loss over a decade ago. But it wasn’t until 2018 that the right mix of technology came along to solve this problem in a holistic way.

We see a massive problem both at the macro (aquifer health) and micro (individual farmers who lack visibility) levels. The technology to solve these problems is here, and we’ve been testing it since 2018.

The results are in: meter.me is revolutionizing remote water monitoring through water loss detection and early detection of water issues for our early adopters. We can’t eliminate all water issues, but meter.me can alert you before a problem gets out of hand.

Our early customers are already calling meter.me “a life saver” that has “taken so much anxiety and work out of estimating water levels.” ___
Now we’ve assembled a team, and we’re ready to solve these problems at scale — starting in Northern California and rapidly expanding to other markets.
