domestic and industrial markets. In the last seven years however, the range of products

market and the easier accessibility of imported goods and the competition saturated, led to the

eventual decision of the supply, sale and service of the specialization in certain products and

eventual diversification into pre-paid smart water meters, particularly the Baylan brand.

Constant online liaison with suppliers, transport and clearing agents both within and outside of

our borders ensure that products and components are made available to the customer

effectively and reasonably.

Through the efficient and reliable service of qualified and technically well versed travelling sales

representatives and equally experienced, competent and skilled projects team, Star Delta is

able to provide a quality range of renowned products and workmanship both to customers

within and outside of main cities and towns. Customers in the whole of Zimbabwe and beyond

all benefit from the service, back-up and technical advice provided by these sales

representatives. Considering Zimbabwe's renowned mineral wealth, approximately 75% of all

Star Delta's business dealings are carried out with the mining sector, agreeably a specialized

field within itself.

Training plays an important role in the day to day running of the Company. The management

firmly believes that complete knowledge and knowhow of a product and job is absolutely vital

in its sale. Training is not only carried out within the in-house training centre where staff and

customers are introduced and lectured on the product, but also at customer premises outside

of the main cities of Harare and Bulawayo. These training programs are set up in conjunction

with the product supplier who inevitably sends experienced personnel to lecture and

demonstrate the product.

To ensure customer awareness, Star Delta Electrix markets itself through the public media as

well as exhibiting at various regional shows. Depending on the location and the reasoning

behind the show, Star Delta will adjust accordingly and exhibit the range of products and

services available to fit in with the show’s particular theme. These shows have been successful

in not only securing future sales and projects, but familiarizing both the businesses and the

public with the company, its products and the services available to the customer.

Star Delta offers a flexible credit facility controlled by the in-house computerized accounting

system. All statements, invoices and receipts are systematically printed and distributed by the

Management Profiles

Honest Chida

Born on the 10th of April 1982 and having worked as Area Sales Representative and later

Regional Sales & Marketing Manager for BICA Engineering and BICA Electrical Wholesalers, a

then 3M Scotch Electrical Products Distributor between 2000 and 2004, Honest Chida was

placed at the deep end at a tender age to introduce the 3M brand in the southern region of the

country thereby spearheading the dominance of the brand in the region, a then uncharted

territory.

After having established the brand as a force to be reckoned with, new challenges were

beckoning and between 2005 and 2006 he was appointed Operations Manager at Centronics

Electrical where he spearheaded the phenomenal growth of a small organization into one of the

biggest electrical companies in Bulawayo, in the process gaining and imparting even more

product and technical knowledge and managerial skills.

Having gained such immense knowledge and experience, an offer to lead Golden Triangle

Holdings and its subsidiaries as the G.C.E.O between 2007 and 2010 was irresistible as it

presented yet another milestone in management and enhancement of different economic

sector diversification.

The process was then put into its proper perspective when in 2010 an opportunity to lead both

the Zimbabwean and Southern African (SADC) Regional operations as General Manager at Star

Delta Electrix, incorporating Star Delta Electrical Contracting and Star Delta Consultancy

Services, itself a leader in the marketplace with close to three decades of offering products of

the highest technology and service that leaves nothing to be desired, was again as irresistible as

it was flattering, presenting a chance to subsequently buy into the business and become a

director when the white owners relocated to Zambia. He is the incumbent C.E.O and Managing

Director of the organization. With a total of fourteen years experience of working at the top

level and currently studying for an MBA with the Australian Business Institute, the added

responsibilities of leading a group of companies become easier by the day with experience and

knowledge combined together. He is fluent in English, Shona and Ndebele languages.

Noah N. Chimombe

Born on the 16th of August 1982, an experienced salesperson with deep electrical product

knowledge and sound marketing skills, Mr. Chimombe worked as a Salesperson with Allenfield

(Private) Limited from 2005 and proved to be a loyal, dedicated and honest cadre. He became

the External Sales Coordinator and eventually the Sales Manger in 2006 and managed to

introduce the company to the mining industry in which it proved beyond doubt that it was a

reliable supplier of genuine electrical products and services. He joined Star Delta as the

Operations Manager in March 2011 and his vast experience in the field has brought tremendous

gains to the organization which led to his elevation to the position of General Manager. He is

responsible for controlling and managing sales, marketing and customer care aspects. He has a

total of 10years experience in the Sales and Marketing industry and his vast experience in the

electrical sector has helped the company scale greater heights. He is a fluent English, Shona and

Ndebele speaker.

A self-motivated, dynamic and mature Engineer of sober habits and undisputable integrity, Mr.

Mupandawana is a holder of an honours degree in technology in production engineering, and

has managed to put it into practice at several organizations. Born on the 10th of July 1987 and at

such a tender age, he possesses exceptional leadership skills capable of motivating others to

achieve desired results within stipulated times, a quality he gained at Trinity Manufacturers.

Managing production at ABB Botton Armature Winding enabled him to be a goal driven

engineer, obtain vast experience in logistical and hands on abilities. Knowledge combined with

experience has permitted Mr. Mupandawana to have the capacity to interact with regional and

international technical persons which exposure has contributed tremendously in the refinement

of the engineer.

His keenness to perform well under pressure and capability of achieving good service

individually and in a team set up has elevated his public relations skills and human management

techniques. The engineer is mostly respected for abiding by the confidentiality requirements of

an organization or contracts hence proving to be a trustworthy and dependable figure.

He has been exposed to projects of various magnitudes since his engagement with Star Delta

and has seen him proving to be a sound decision maker in most projects performed by Star

Delta. With a total of 4years under and post graduate experience in engineering under his belt

Mobilization Time

Star Delta has been involved in numerous projects of various magnitudes hence setting up for a

project is one of the tasks it performs with ease. Identification and orientation of manpower

that will participate in such a project is a process that we will undertake. High levels of

professionalism will be practiced to ensure appreciable levels of safety when tackling the

project. From experience, three days for small jobs and a minimum of one week for more

complex ones is more than sufficient to fully impart the goal of the project to the personnel

responsible.

Mobilization of materials/ procurement is a miniature task since Star Delta is an official

distributor of various electrical components manufacturers. We are official distributors

(licenced) of Hellerman Tyton, Reeflite, Rayvos, Benedict & Jager, Schneider, Jointmaster,

Omron, Telux and BMG. The above mentioned are reputable and respected companies in the

electrical field which provide products of unquestionable quality. In all projects Star Delta has

accomplished, it supplies and installs mostly products that it distributes because product quality

is then guaranteed. On pre-paid smart water meters, Star Delta has managed to partner with

one of Europe and the world’s biggest and oldest water meter manufacturers, with over

50years in the business, Turkish based Baylan Meters, to supply, install and commission prepaid

smart water meters and billing platform software packages, with full technical back up support

from the factory, to Sub-Saharan Africa.

Depending on the project budget and the urgency of the project, Star Delta is highly flexible in

mobilization of manpower and materials. Even if most suppliers to such projects may not be in

Zimbabwe, Star Delta has the capacity to gather materials in a minimum period of five working

days depending on the project size and quantum of materials.

“The idea is that councils aim to provide clean water to the people.

It is, however, essential that we balance populism and reality, local

authorities need money to function and we need to meet the human

rights aspect that is associated with water provision. I will have

problems with the idea if it fails to supply water to residents, but if

the outcome is pure water delivery, then people should be proud

of it. This is the only way to ensure we get what we should get in

terms of service delivery,” said Minister Kasukuwere. –The

Chronicle.

Residents get the first 5 kilolitres of water for free and then pay

$0,75 for the next six to 14 kilolitres. The next 15 to 25 kilolitres

cost $1 and those who exceed 25 kilolitres pay $1,50 per kilolitre.

Dealing With Resistance

• The Harare Residents Trust (HRT) rejected the installation of pre-paid water meters, saying the

move was a profit-making project for the local authority which would not address the residents’

needs.

• “Pre-paid water meters represent the total hijacking of a human right by city bureaucrats who are

only concerned with increasing revenue inflows instead of addressing its billing system, which has

given residents nightmares,” said HRT director, Precious Shumba.

• “We reject this apparent profit- making project in its totality, and will only express a different

view once we have sufficient information on the benefits that will accrue to residents.”

• Essentially, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution (Resolution 64/292, In July 2010)

defined the right to water as the right of everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable and physically

accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses.

• In this regard, it becomes imperative that one explores the issue of prepaid water meters. Is it an

issue of development and revenue collection not infringement of basic human right to water and

sanitation.

PREPAID WATER METERING

Important points to consider when choosing a meter

• require advance payment

• accommodate working conditions (temp / pressure)

• warranty of product

• maintainability (spare parts availability)

• display function

• enable meter reading

• tamper proof unit

• compatible software

• allow emergency credit

Determining non-revenue water

• To quantify the non-revenue water is the basis of a water balance for the Local Authority. Non-revenue water is water that is lost or from which no income is

derived, either through leakage, illegal connections, administrative losses, stuck water meters, slow water meters and inaccurate measurement of bulk supply

• Non-revenue water range from 6-50% in urban areas in Namibia. Non-revenue water is normally expressed as the m3 lost, the loss in litres/connection/day

(for benchmarking purposes), or as a percentage based on the total production or total bulk supply

Non-revenue water incorporates the following components (Figure 1):

• System input volume or bulk water supplied into the system over a year.

• Authorized consumption consists of two parts: billed authorized consumption and unbilled authorized consumption. Billed authorized consumption is the yearly

volume of metered and/or non-metered water (based on estimates) consumed by registered users and others that are authorized to do so for residential,

commercial and industrial purposes. Unbilled authorized consumption consist of own use by the Local Authority, if not sold internally to the different

departments. Unbilled non-metered consumption includes low estimates, water use from hydrants for fire fighting and other uses by the Local Authority such as

road construction, if the Local Authority made connections for own use that are not metered, or internally accounted for.

• Water losses consists of apparent losses and real losses. Apparent losses include unauthorized consumption (illegal connections, meter bypasses, use from

hydrants for private purposes, etc.) which means someone using the water, but without any income to the Local Authority, whic h includes water users not

registered on the billing system. Inaccuracies of water meters (slow meters or stuck meters) and meter estimates instead of reading are also apparent losses.

• Real losses consist of leakages, pipe bursts, reservoir overflows, leaking service connections, and leaking stop cocks before the meter up to the point of the

customer water meter. Experience has shown that most leaks result from service connections, commonly caused by poor construct ion and/or maintenance.

Analysis: Components and Implications of Smart Metering

This section contains a summary of the benefits and drawbacks of a large scale implementation of SWM as well as an analysis of associated costs.

Smart Water Metering

• A comparison of both methods metering shows limited drawbacks of implementing smart water metering.

• SWM benefits compensate for the drawbacks of standard water metering. SWM allows data to be more available and easily accessed. Standard metering

only collects data once every three months whereas SWM allows for close to real-time water monitoring. SWM data transmission benefits Council by

eliminating the need to contract manual meter readers. Additionally, the ability of frequent data transmission in SWM technology provides conservational

benefits.

www.stardelta.net Page 38

Standard Water Meter Reading Costs

• For instance, if the current method of meter reading costs about sixty cents per reading which

reading occurs once per three months for households and once per month for industries, it

therefore follows that the approximate cost of reading each water meter in Bulawayo four

times a year would be approximately $1,200,000.

• 0 cents x 4 readings per year x 500k users = $1’200’000

• However, because we do not know how many end users have their meter read more often

than four times per year, we will estimate that the total annual cost for manual meter readings

in Bulawayo would be approximately $2,000,000.

15

Estimating Savings from Leak Detection in Households

• To gain an idea of how much water could be saved through household leak detection through SWM, we estimated expected savings for

Bulawayo. A water study found leaks in approximately 2% of domestic water systems. Therefore for our analysis, we will assume that 2% of our

customer base has water leaks. To estimate how many end users in Bulawayo have leaks, we multiplied this percentage with the total number of

end users in Bulawayo.

2% x 500’000 end users = 10’000 ends users with water leaks

• When analysing consumption we found that the average daily use for a four person home with a medium sized garden is 760 litres. We then

converted this number to analyse how much water such a household can use in a year’s time.

760 litres/day x 365 days = 277 kilolitres per year

• According to a study in the United States, 10% of household water is lost to leaks when a leak is present (Thornton & Tanner, 2010). We

applied this number to Bulawayo households.

277 kilolitres per year x 10% = 27.7 kilolitres of water lost to leaks per household

27.7 kilolitres x 10’000 end users = 277’000 kilolitres is leaked water

www.stardelta.net Page 39

Calculations for household leaks

Residents get the first 5 kilolitres of water for free and then pay $0,75 for the next six to 14 kilolitres. The next 15 to 25 kilolitres cost $1 and those who exceed

25 kilolitres pay $1,50 per kilolitre.

27.7 kilolitres per year x $1 = $277 spent on leaked water every year per user

$277 per user x 10’000 user = $2’770’000 annually spent on leaked water

Homes with leaks in Bulawayo spend about $277 annually on wasted water, or roughly $2’770’000 spread between 10,000 households. Note that this cost will

be twice as expensive within 5 years as the price of water is expected to increase in Bulawayo. Also note that the actual savings could widely vary depending

on the source of the leak. This is a cost that can be reduced if SWM were widely implemented in Bulawayo. The study noted that a fraction of the homes with

leaks detected had an exceptionally high loss compared to others, suggesting that the quantity of water lost to leaks is not always straightforward to predict.

Summary of SWM Analyses

We analysed our findings to understand what type of wide-scale smart water metering implementation would be most suitable for Bulawayo. We found that

smart water meters are expensive in comparison to the simpler standard water meters. We also found that a device’s battery life is a limiting factor in regards

to maintenance and annualised costs. Lastly, leaks in households account for a small fraction of total water usage but could easily be detected and fixed by

employing a wide-scale SWM system. Water leak detection could benefit households to potentially conserve water and money.

17

Smart card system provides the following benefits to the authorities:

• Eliminates first and last reading operations

• Eliminates sealing/opening and meter uninstalling/installing operations because of unpaid bills

• Eliminates billing and bill distribution operations

• Eliminates bill and payment follow-up operations

• System has high security level

• Prepayment electronic water meters monitors the leakages on the network and informs the

authority via the smart card.

Administrative

• Residents would submit themselves for payment.

• Payments can be made at supermarkets and filling stations.

• Software can be integrated to the existing one

• The system may be managed everywhere that has internet

connection

• Improved water demand management and accurate calculation

of non revenue water i.e improved customer service.

29

Security

• The Prepaid Smart Water Meter can not be dismantled or assembled by

mere users.

• The customer interface cards can not be swapped, copied or tampered with

• Ageing Infrastructure - There is a positive correlation between the age of

infrastructure and the probability that it will fail, potentially endangering the

service reliability

• Once the limit has been reached the SWM can not be manipulated to

release water unless a prepayment has been made

• Meters come with serial numbers to enable online tracking

Water Conservation

• Consumers would have a mandate to monitor water leakages as it will be at

their expense and they suffer the consequences more immediate as compared

to the standard water meter system where they would let the bill escalate

• Ability to have a daily usage restriction (limit usage)

• The ability of frequent data transmission in SWM technology provides

conservational benefits.
