Gaber confirmed that his company, one of the companies affiliated with the Holding Company for Water and Wastewater (HCWW), is keen to develop the collection and payment system for the consumption bills, using Damen point of sale (POS) machines.
These machines will record the correct readings from the water meter, to ensure its accuracy and that the consumer is charged according to his actual consumption.
This comes in line with the state plan and HCWW directives, towards the speedy completion of the procedures for digital transformation and electronic payments.
