AMI, AMR, and Metering Features

  1. SWAN Corner: Unlock Data To Improve Water Distribution System Operations 7/14/2021

    Water distribution system infrastructures are designed to deliver drinking water to end users, but utilities are continually faced with distinct challenges to fulfill this fundamental objective. For example, these utilities improve customer service by delivering water with high pressure, but on the other hand, water conservation policies push them to minimize water distribution leaks. For this reason, water utilities invest heavily in SCADA and telemetry technologies to support operational decisions. However, unlocking historical operational data and fusing it with other data (such as billing information from AMR/AMI networks) to generate actionable insights has proven difficult.

  2. AMI Data = Insights For Water Utilities 10/20/2023

    Discover how analytics can amplify the benefits of AMI in identifying non-revenue water losses and enhancing customer service. 

  3. The Importance Of Control Valve Training 12/28/2023

    By understanding how to implement a pressure management program, the amount of recoverable water losses can be staggering, as well as have a significant reduction in pipe breakages.

  4. AMI Reluctance And The Risk Of Doing Nothing 10/24/2023

    Water utility systems that have transitioned to AMI benefit from increased revenue, reduced risk, improved customer relations, and widespread efficiencies across operations.

  5. LeakZon Hybrid Solution: Modernizing AMR Networks With AMI Intelligence 7/11/2025

    This blog post introduces how the WEAD hybrid system works and how it empowers AMR-based utilities with actionable intelligence immediately, shortening the road to full AMI.

  6. Metering as a Service Improves Jackson, MS, Water Infrastructure 12/8/2025
    The city of Jackson faced a water crisis that went beyond the tap. What began as an ambitious plan to modernize its water metering infrastructure in 2014 became a logistical and financial nightmare, costing the city millions in lost revenue and declining public trust. Metering as a Service (MaaS) offered the city an alternative option.
  7. Smart Water Networks And The Choices Ahead 11/6/2019

    Many water utilities continue to evaluate the costs and benefits of investing in smart metering to reduce operational costs and help recover revenue from water losses. Smart metering can also provide customers with more granular consumption data to help them protect their property from water damage and better manage their water expenses.

  8. Standards For Testing And Certifying Cured-In-Place Pipe 6/23/2021

    It is estimated that nearly 75,000 miles of wastewater and water pipelines have been lined with Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP), with nearly $3 billion spent annually on the trenchless renovation method, worldwide. Recognizing the growing use of CIPP and inability of CCTV inspection to accurately or consistently certify trenchless rehabilitation as defect-free, this paper chronicles the emergence of new guidelines to test, certify, and accept CIPP lining projects, using Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL) inspection.

  9. Tennessee Town Checks For Water Loss In More Than 8,000 Feet Of Pipe 8/15/2022

    Learn how Electro Scan helped a rural Tennessee town check for water loss and to find the sources of its non-revenue water (NRW). 

  10. Optimizing Leak Detection Using Virtual District Metering Areas (vDMAs) 5/1/2020

    Today, progressive utilities are using digital technologies to create virtual district metering areas (vDMAs), eliminating the limitations of the physical DMA by utilizing data to provide actionable insights into the condition of their networks.
