The new meters let staff close a household's water valve remotely within seconds, and reopen it once an overdue bill is paid. The pilot began with about 43 of them, at hospitals, clinics, dining halls and schools.

SEDAPAL, the utility serving Lima and Callao, began piloting smart water meters in November 2024 that let staff remotely close and reopen a household's supply valve within seconds — the utility calls it a first in its history. The initial stage covered about 43 meters, prioritising hospitals, clinics, community dining halls and schools; service auto-restores once an overdue bill is paid, cutting reconnection waits to within the 24-hour regulatory limit.
