About the Project

Water measured accurately, bills paid fairly

The smart water meter installation project is an ambitious national initiative implemented by the Ministry of Construction, Housing, Municipalities and Public Works in cooperation with Al Janoob Islamic Bank, replacing old conventional meters with modern smart meters.

The new meters provide accurate readings and advanced technology for managing water consumption, helping to reduce waste and rationalise consumption in all governorates of Iraq except the Kurdistan Region.

Meter Installation Process

Four steps from the visit to electronic collection

How is installation carried out?
  1. Visit by the mobile teams

    Al Janoob Islamic Bank teams, in coordination with the water directorate.

  2. Recording and updating subscriber data

    The property and subscriber are documented and linked to the subscription number.

  3. Installing the modern meter

    The old meter is replaced with a climate-resistant smart meter.

  4. Activating electronic collection

    Actual consumption is calculated and paid through the channel that suits you.

Electronic Collection

Smart reading, instant receipt, and payment the way that suits you

No estimates and no guesswork: the collector reads the meter electronically with a QR reader and prints your bill receipt on the spot. You then choose how to pay: immediately, at the water directorate, or through electronic channels.

Electronic Payment Channels

Pay your water bill from anywhere through the approved electronic channels.

Citizens' Concerns and Questions

Will my bill be higher? And other questions, answered clearly

The estimated system charges an amount unrelated to actual consumption. With a smart meter you pay only for what you use, at a tariff starting from 100 dinars per cubic metre.

All frequently asked questions

Not necessarily. The current estimated system charges an amount unrelated to actual consumption, which is what makes it unfair. With a smart meter the bill is calculated on the cubic metres actually consumed, at a tariff starting from 100 dinars per cubic metre, so a household with moderate consumption will usually pay less.
