Utilities & Infrastructure

See exactly where your
water and energy go

Fieldmouse connects pulse and analog meters across your sites, buildings, and infrastructure to a centralised dashboard — giving councils and operators real-time consumption data, automated leak detection, and the reporting needed for billing and compliance.

The Challenge

Without sub-metering, consumption is invisible until the bill arrives

Councils and large venue operators typically receive a single consolidated utility bill covering an entire site or network — with no breakdown by building, zone, or activity. Without sub-metering, there's no way to identify where consumption is highest, whether a leak is developing, or how usage is tracking against budget until it's too late.

Manual meter reads are infrequent, labour-intensive, and error-prone. Billing disputes with tenants or sporting clubs are difficult to resolve without historical data. And the inability to detect overnight leaks or irrigation overruns means significant volumes of water and energy can be wasted before anyone realises there's a problem.

Modern council reporting, net-zero commitments, and grant acquittals increasingly require granular utility consumption data that legacy infrastructure simply cannot provide.

"Fieldmouse proactively actions the asset — as opposed to just monitoring and providing alerts."

  • No per-site consumption data — total utility bills with no breakdown by building, zone, or tenant
  • Leaks go undetected — a slow or overnight leak can run for days before anyone notices a change in pressure or volume
  • Manual meter reads are infrequent — quarterly or monthly reads miss anomalies and provide no trend visibility
  • Billing disputes with tenants — no historical data to resolve consumption disagreements with clubs or hirers
  • Budget overruns go unnoticed — no alerts when consumption thresholds are exceeded mid-period
  • Reporting requirements unmet — council grant acquittals and carbon reporting need granular data that doesn't exist

How Fieldmouse Helps

Real-time sub-metering for water, electricity, and gas

Fieldmouse connects directly to pulse-output and 4–20mA meters — no meter replacement required — and feeds continuous consumption data into the platform for monitoring, alerting, and reporting.

Water Sub-Metering

Connect to existing pulse-output water meters to track consumption per zone, building, or irrigation circuit. View live flow rates, daily totals, and historical trends across every metered point from a single dashboard.

Electricity Sub-Metering

Monitor energy consumption for individual circuits, buildings, or amenities using integrated energy meters. Identify high-consuming areas, track peak demand, and allocate costs accurately across tenants and activities.

Leak & Anomaly Detection

Automated flow analysis detects overnight usage patterns consistent with leaks or valve failures. Configurable threshold alerts notify maintenance teams immediately — before significant losses occur.

Consumption Trend Reporting

View daily, weekly, and monthly consumption trends by site, zone, or utility type. Identify seasonal patterns, benchmark sites against each other, and track progress against reduction targets over time.

Tenant & Zone Billing Allocation

Accurately apportion water and energy costs to individual tenants, sporting clubs, or activity zones based on actual metered consumption — eliminating estimation and resolving billing disputes with data.

Compliance & Carbon Reporting

Generate granular consumption reports for council acquittals, sustainability commitments, and carbon accounting. Export to CSV at any time for integration with financial or reporting systems.

Key Outcomes

What operators typically achieve

Indicative results based on typical deployments. Your results will vary by site count, existing infrastructure, and utility tariffs.

Waste

Reduced Utility Waste

Detecting leaks, overruns, and anomalies in real time eliminates the slow, unnoticed losses that accumulate across a large site network over months or years.

#0

Billing Disputes Resolved

Accurate per-zone metering data means tenant and club billing can be reconciled to the litre and kilowatt-hour — with timestamped records to support any dispute.

1-click

Compliance & Grant Reporting

Full consumption history exportable at any time for council acquittals, sustainability reporting, carbon accounting, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Fieldmouse Devices

Hardware used in this solution

Utility metering deployments use the Scout for meter input reading and data transmission. No meter replacement required — Scout connects to existing pulse and analog meter outputs.
