Fair and Transparent Billing Per Member: Advantages of Prepaid Meters for Cooperatives
Irrigation cooperatives face one of the biggest challenges while serving hundreds of members: establishing a fair and transparent billing system. Collection issues, unfair water use, and high operating costs experienced in traditional systems threaten the sustainability of cooperatives. As Esular, the prepaid meter systems we have developed offer radical solutions to these problems.
Billing Problems in Cooperatives
Irrigation cooperatives in Turkey encounter many difficulties while irrigating wide agricultural lands:
- Collection difficulties: Members not making payments on time strains the cooperative's operating budget
- Illegal use: Uncontrolled water use leads to the victimization of honest members
- High personnel costs: A large number of personnel must be employed for meter reading and collection
- Lack of transparency: Members cannot track their consumption instantly and do not trust the billing
Advantages Brought by the Prepaid System: In traditional systems, collection issues and personnel costs are the largest expense items for cooperatives. With Esular prepaid meter systems, a significant reduction in these costs can be achieved and a collection guarantee can be obtained.
