AMI, AMR, and Metering Features

  1. Where's The Fire? Industrial Uses For Fire Hydrant Meters 1/23/2019

    There are many options for ensuring accurate billing of water used at established industrial customer locations. But how do municipalities or businesses keep track of water availability and use for intermittent applications or movable access points? We spoke with McCrometer, Inc.’s Marc Bennett for insight into how water utilities and industries can efficiently track and allocate water use for billing or internal accounting purposes in such ad hoc applications.

  2. Strategic Valve Insertion Prevents Widespread Shutdown At Military Facility 1/31/2024

    Learn how a military installation used an Insta-Valve insertion valve to repair a water leak, minimizing disruption and costs. Hydra-Stop's support was valued in maintaining military readiness.

  3. Smarter Meters Help Plug Leaks In Bayonne, NJ — Over 800 Detected 12/3/2014

    Water is relatively inexpensive in the context of your overall household budget. On average, the cost of water is less than a penny a gallon.  That makes it all too easy to waste. 

  4. An Example Set: WHUD 3/30/2018

    In 2007, White House Utility District (WHUD), a water utility serving approximately 90,000 consumers and businesses in Tennessee, faced a dilemma: how to meet a projected growing demand for water within the budget and capital constraints faced by municipal and mid-sized utilities everywhere.

  5. Are Smart Meters Hazardous To Public Health? 11/13/2013

  6. Finding A More Affordable Migration Path To Net Zero Leakage 8/16/2021

    Whether decision-makers consider it ultimately attainable or not, there is something positive to be said about striving toward ‘net zero leakage’ in water distribution systems saddled with high non-revenue-water (NRW) losses. The key is taking affordable steps — like those described below — toward identifying and mitigating the most egregious water loss locations in a distribution system, based on readily accessible data.

  7. Connecting The Water Cycle: Bridging The Physical-Digital Gap 11/16/2023

    There are many reasons why an AMI system might fail, but more often than not it boils down to gaps in the physical-to-digital transition.

  8. Water Authority Deploys More Efficient Solution For Now And The Future 7/16/2020

    Following the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2013, Water Authority of Dickson County decided to look beyond its current metering manufacturing company and evaluate other solutions in the market. Leaders from WADC began conversations with their counterparts across Tennessee to find new, longer-lasting and more accurate meters, as well as a solution that would help WADC more strategically detect leaks and efficiently manage its time.

  9. IoT-AMR Solution For Water Distribution Network 3/29/2022

    The top 1000 largest business customers have a combined consumption of around 26 million m3of water. For these companies, Vitens has launched an AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) tender, that provides realtime information on their water usage and invoicing.

  10. Integrating Multiple Strategies To Optimize Water Use And Minimize Losses 3/25/2025
