Consumed Water Volumes at 8:00–9:00 AM from 1,048 Residential Smart Meters in Soccavo (Italy), Year 2016

This dataset contains hourly water consumption volumes recorded between 8:00 and 9:00 AM for 1'048 residential smart meters located in the neighborhood of Soccavo (Naples, Italy). Data refers to the weekdays of year 2016, excluding the month of August, and were collected as part of a large-scale telemetry program implemented by the local water utility. Each smart meter provides a time series representing the morning peak consumption hour, a period typically characterized by strong behavioural regularity.
