What is Quikwater and who is it for?

Updated

Quikwater is a utility billing software product from TAK Technology Inc., aimed at small and medium-sized rural and municipal utilities. It handles water charges along with sewer, refuse, and other user-defined charges, and the site offers a free demo, quote requests, pricing information, and support resources.

Who runs it

Quikwater is the product; TAK Technology is the parent company behind it. According to the site, TAK Technology was founded in 1983 and is a New Mexico corporation that specializes in software and computer systems, with an emphasis on specialized software modules, system integration, and training. The company describes its approach as "utility billing service with a personal touch" and says it works with partner vendors to address water utility needs.

Who it's for

The site states the system is designed for small to medium-sized rural and municipal utilities. That framing matters if you're evaluating it: the pitch is not enterprise-scale billing for a large metro, but a system sized for smaller utilities that still need to bill more than just water.

What it does

The feature set is grouped into three areas on the site:

Billing

  • Flexible rate structure and modifiable bill formats
  • Online bill pay and email billing
  • Transaction rollback capability
  • Print mailing labels and demand letters

Accounting

  • Adaptable, user-friendly software
  • Automatic month-end close-out
  • Historical billing and account history reports
  • Deposits, cash transactions, and adjustment reports

Meter reading

  • Support for radio-read and electronic meters across a long list of vendors, including Sensus, Neptune, Badger, Itron, Kamstrup, Zenner, and others
  • An iPad interface for manual readings, so utilities without electronic meters can avoid typing in readings by hand each month

The site also notes three versions of the product to meet different needs, though the page evidence doesn't break down what distinguishes each version.

How to evaluate it

If you're considering Quikwater, the site provides a few concrete entry points:

  1. Request a quote — there's a form asking for name, phone, and email, plus a checkbox consenting to non-marketing text messages about a free demo or quote. A phone number is also listed: 1-800-240-7113.
  2. Get a free demo — offered alongside the quote request.
  3. Check the pricing page — the site has a dedicated Pricing link, so current pricing should be confirmed there rather than assumed.
  4. Review support and FAQs — the navigation includes Support, Contact, and FAQs sections.

One practical caveat: the quote form's consent checkbox is specifically about non-marketing texts regarding a demo or quote, so read it before submitting if you have concerns about contact preferences.

What to verify before deciding

The site doesn't publish per-version feature breakdowns or pricing figures in the material available here, so if those details matter to your decision, they're worth confirming directly through the pricing page or a quote request. The meter-reading compatibility list is long, but you'd want to confirm your specific meter model and reading method are supported before committing.
