Local authorities around the country have been using Arthur D Riley & Co Ltd (ADR) specialised water metering equipment for nearly 90 years, since it became agents for a top English manufacturing company.

Water metering equipment has grown to become an important part of ADR's portfolio of products and services since then, and the company has developed a reputation for supplying high quality equipment designed to meet the very specific needs of its many customers.

ADR is the major supplier of domestic water meters in New Zealand, and hopes to see this side of its business continue to increase as more local authorities move to water metering. ADR also provides a total service for its water metering equipment, with full back-up service and repair facilities.

A number of local authorities have also taken advantage of another ADR water service, which uses latest technology to detect major water leaks. Water loss is a significant problem for councils around the country, and ADR has skilled staff and specialised tools to provide a cost-effective solution.
