CTSuite is a smart metering system that allows utility customers to pre-pay for water and monitor usage via a mobile app.
CTSuite, manufactured and distributed by CityTaps, is a pay-as-you-go smart metering system implemented by the local utility consisting of a smart water meter called CTMeter and a CTCloud billing software. The suite allows for accurate consumption measurement and data tracking, leak, and tampering identification, and simplified purchasing of water.
