Whether the same gets consumed for Industrial, Commercial or Domestic use, its consumption is metered and measured, such that the consumer billing can be fair and accurate. However, this is a situation for the ideal world because where there is billing and value there exists the very real possibility of pilferage and theft.

The Issue

Theft in Electric power is a very common T&D problem across the world. Forbes.com states that in Houston, Texas the problem of power theft has been escalated to the law enforcement agencies. They unequivocally state, as per a study carried out in 2010, that if we visited 10000 households in any neighborhood, we would find that 60-70% of the meters have been tampered with. The situation is no different whether it is Texas or Delhi, India. Power Companies face huge revenue losses on this account.

Water in most countries is supplied by Civic Bodies. Potable water for drinking, water for sanitation, Commercial & Industrial uses requires huge processing plants for treatment. Water is not just important but expensive. For this service the Civic bodies charge you a water consumption tax for an allotted quota and an additional charge where it exceeds the allotted quantity. Water is also susceptible to theft.

Gas for cooking, commercial and Industrial use in chilling and heating plants is an expensive commodity. This is an expensive commodity because Gas needs specialized storage. The T&D of Gas like Electricity is a highly expensive and technical affair and hence it has significant value at its usage point.

The Secure Seals Solution

Each of the above commodities whether Electricity, Water or Gas is metered. The easiest way to reduce pilferage is to become aware of it in the first place and that’s where evidence of tampering needs to be highlighted. Once calibrated, the meters can be sealed with tamper evident seals that can instantly “red flag” the situation that pilferage is happening. A very large percentage of pilferage can be arrested with the use of this simple methodology.
