A prepaid water meter is a device for controlling the volume of customer water usage with a water pulse system. Currently, the prepaid water meter implements a card system as a storage area for customer water pulse data by filling it via a keypad. This research aimed to develop a prepaid digital water meter using EEPROM memory as a storage area for customers’ water pulses by filling it with a remote control based on the AT89S52 microcontroller. The research method is carried out by developing hardware and software, as well as testing the overall system performance. The results showed that the prepaid water meter system worked well to control the work of the solenoid valve in adjusting the volume of water consumption according to the number of water pulses in the EEPROM memory. Also, the system worked well in the process of recharging water pulses on prepaid water meters via remote control.
