AMR, AMI and Metering CASE STUDIES

1. How Cedar Hills Turned Metering Data Into A Conservation Tool 7/2/2026

   As water scarcity increases, smart metering infrastructure bridges the gap between utilities and consumers. Providing residents with near real-time consumption data and automated leak alerts drives immediate conservation, slashing outdoor water waste while protecting critical resources.

2. AMI Adoption In Water Is Still Structurally Constrained 6/12/2026
   Over the last two decades, utilities have increasingly viewed the transition from automated meter reading (AMR) to advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) as the next step in modernizing their operations. The benefits of moving toward a truly digital ecosystem are well-established, yet AMI continues to face a slow, asymmetric rollout in the water industry.
3. AMI's Next Phase: Turning Meter Data Into Operational Value 6/9/2026
   A recent series of workshops convened by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) underscores how utilities are beginning to use AMI data to support conservation, improve system performance, and move toward more proactive operations. The takeaway is straightforward: most utilities now have the data; the challenge is putting it to work.
4. Beyond Meter-to-Cash: 7 Operational Use Cases Water Utilities Can Unlock With MDM 6/8/2026

   Modern Meter Data Management platforms transform raw data into operational intelligence. Beyond standard billing, continuous data analysis surfaces hidden leaks, detects backflow, and flags failing hardware, allowing water utilities to proactively reduce non-revenue water loss and improve system reliability.

5. Remote Water Meter Reader: How To Retrofit Existing Water Meters For Automatic Reading 5/21/2026

   Automating manual water meter readings reduces non-revenue water loss and eliminates tedious site inspections. Retrofitting existing meters with cellular data loggers provides continuous, real-time analytics, enabling operators to identify hidden leaks and optimize multi-facility infrastructure management instantly.

6. Turning AMI Data Into Better Customer Service 5/18/2026

   For decades, the relationship between a water utility and its customers was simple. As water flows, the bills go out, and sometimes complaints come back. Customers had little visibility into how much water they were actually using on a day-to-day basis, and utilities had limited tools to give them any. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has long since changed that equation. 

7. Modernizing Water Stewardship In The Desert Southwest 5/14/2026

   Discover how advanced metering infrastructure transforms water management by providing real-time visibility into distribution networks. Learn to identify leaks proactively, reduce non-revenue water loss, and empower consumers with data-driven insights to ensure long-term resource resilience.

8. From AMI To Operational Control: Why Performance, Control, And Confidence Matter 5/12/2026

   Modern infrastructure requires moving beyond data collection toward true operational control. Discover how focusing on performance, network priority, and engineered resilience allows utilities to manage leaks and emergencies with total confidence.

9. How The City Of Fallon Improved Sodium Hydroxide Dosing Reliability 5/12/2026

   Learn how transitioning to peristaltic metering technology solved chronic priming and maintenance issues during arsenic removal. This overview highlights how specialized pump designs improve chemical dosing reliability, enhance operator safety, and maximize facility space.

10. 5 Questions Utility Leaders Must Ask About Their AMI Strategy 5/12/2026

    By asking these five questions, water utilities can move beyond basic AMI connectivity toward a model of total operational control.
