CITYTAPS
Activities
CityTaps allows the emergence of a win-win relationship between water operators and subscribers thanks to its unique solution: an intelligent micropayment water meter, linked to a billing software.
Our system enables water operators to optimize their working capital and, in the long term, to invest in new infrastructure to integrate the poorest urban populations into their networks. As for subscribers, thanks to mobile payment, they can prepay for their water at any time and for any amount, using any mobile phone. They have access to water that is much cheaper than other solutions and is also completely safe.
Our innovative solution has the potential to dramatically improve the lives and well-being of the one billion people who do not have access to piped water at home. Our goal is to work together to make access to piped water at home for all urban dwellers a reality.
