One platform, two utilities

Electricity and water, run from the same place.

Most properties have both meters and two separate ways of handling them. OnePlumbing puts prepaid vending, meter status and history for both into one system.

Landlord payments & settlements

Utility payments. Clearer settlements.

Utility money shouldn't disappear into a caretaker's notebook. Every payment is recorded against its meter and unit, and your share is tracked all the way to payout.

How you're paid depends on the settlement method set up for your account. Settlement timing follows the payment partner's schedule; we don't promise instant payouts.

Remote meter management

Precise control, with a record of every action.

Check a meter's status, read it remotely and change its supply without sending someone to site, on meters that support it.

    Each meter shows up in your dashboard, with its status, readings where supported, and full history.

  3. 03

    Transact
