Fort Worth Water Achieves Data-Driven Success With Xylem Technology

As the 12th largest U.S. city, Fort Worth, Texas, and its water utility is among the largest to use Xylem digital technology that has revolutionized their operations.

Fort Worth Water successfully implemented Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in its mission to ensure clean and affordable water to the growing city and foster water conservation.

“This new technology is delivering substantial annual cost savings, improving the customer experience and reducing water loss,” said Marty Barker, AMI administrator at the City of Fort Worth. “We now feel confident that we are providing the best service possible to our customers, while operating more efficiently.”

Fort Worth Water completed their AMI project in 2022 with the help of distributor Aqua-Metric. The water utility now has just under 300,000 residential and commercial meters compatible with the Sensus FlexNet® communication network from Xylem. The network communicates via dedicated, FCC-licensed spectrum, ensuring secure and reliable data transmissions between the utility and their meters.
