How STS Prepaid Water Metering Eliminates Revenue Loss

Managing utility billing across multi-tenant residential complexes, commercial plazas, and gated communities in Kenya presents significant operational challenges. Traditional postpaid water metering frequently results in accumulated utility debt, delayed tenant payments, and time-consuming manual meter reading errors.

Our STS prepaid water meters solve these challenges by fully automating payment processing and water distribution:

1. Instant M-Pesa Tokenization: Tenants remit water payments via M-Pesa Paybill directly from their mobile phones.
2. Automated 20-Digit Token Delivery: The payment engine verifies the transaction in real time and delivers a 20-digit STS token to the tenant via SMS.
3. Keypad Token Entry: The tenant inputs the 20-digit token into the Customer Interface Unit (CIU) keypad installed inside their unit to top up water units.
4. Automated Valve Control: Water flow is tied directly to active credit balance. When credit drops to zero, the internal pulse valve automatically shuts off water supply until a new credit token is loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – STS Prepaid Water Meters in Kenya

Q: How do tenants receive their 20-digit STS tokens?

A: Once a tenant completes payment via M-Pesa Paybill, our automated billing engine instantly generates a unique 20-digit STS token and sends it directly to the tenant’s phone via SMS.

Q: What happens if the battery runs low in an STS meter?

A: BNS Meters equips each STS prepaid water meter with a long-life lithium battery rated for up to 6+ years. If battery power drops below the operational threshold, an automated low-power alarm sounds, and the internal valve safely closes to prevent unmetered water flow.

Q: Can property managers issue emergency credit tokens?

A: Yes. Property managers and landlords can access the BNS Meters admin portal to generate emergency override tokens or clear tamper states remotely whenever necessary.
