Your Questions, Answered.

Why consider a smart water project?

A comprehensive water meter replacement project not only benefits the water distribution system by creating a more efficient operation but allows a municipality to maintain the lowest possible water rates for Clients. In general, smart water meter replacement projects can provide:

  • More accurate water usage data: Newer water meters can provide real-time water consumption data to both the utility and Clients.
  • More accurate billing process: Hard water, debris, age, and deterioration can reduce the accuracy of analog meters over time, leading to lower measurements and the possibility of unbilled water use. With more precise meter readings, municipalities can bill more accurately.
  • Increased revenue: Reducing the amount of unbilled water due to better distribution and more accurate meter readings can increase utility revenue.
  • Reduced wear and tear: Real-time water consumption data can provide more proactive service in identifying and resolving issues and leaks.
How can I fund a full-system water meter replacement project?

We work with municipalities, using state-enabled legislation, to implement smart water solutions to become smart utilities with no up-front capital.

When funded through an energy savings performance contract, the entire smart water meter project — including high-quality equipment from top manufacturers — is fully funded from the savings garnered with new equipment. Increases in water meter efficiencies, reduction of operational costs, and elimination of future capital expenditures fund the project, which means your municipality need not invest any up-front capital. 

Why become a smart utility?

Many states are facing water shortages. Extended droughts, as well as extreme weather patterns, including extreme temperatures, can stress water systems to their max. Water management is at the forefront of public concern. 

Smart water meters provide the solutions that many cities and towns are seeking. Offering constant, real-time metering of water consumption data, along with features like water leak detection, smart meters can protect communities while optimizing water revenue, improve billing accuracy, and delivering more accurate water usage data. 

Can these projects integrate with other smart city technology?
Smart water meters can be integrated with other smart city technologies to enhance water resource management, promote environmental responsibility, and contribute to urban areas’ overall livability and sustainability. This integration requires effective data management, secure communication protocols, and collaboration among city departments and stakeholders to achieve its full potential. 

A few examples of AMI integration with smart city initiatives include:

  • Smart Grids
  • Environmental Monitoring
  • Waste Management
  • Public Safety
  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Data Analytics and Visualization
  • Urban Planning
  • Resilience and Disaster Recovery
  • Citizen Engagement
