AMR, AMI AND METERING RESOURCES

• Reading The Dead End: Chlorine Data Where The Water Barely Moves

  Dead ends and stagnant mains accelerate disinfectant decay, but conventional sensors require steady flow to read accurately. Flow-independent monitoring restores continuous visibility in low-flow zones, enabling targeted flushing before water quality issues trigger customer complaints.

• Using Operational Data To Prioritize Water Infrastructure Investments

  Meter reads, pressure measurements, leak alerts, and maintenance records all provide valuable insight into system performance. The challenge for most utilities is that this information often exists in silos across multiple systems, making it difficult to connect individual data points and determine what requires attention first.

• Modernizing Water Distribution Systems With Advanced Metering Infrastructure

  The use of smart water meter systems or AMI has emerged as the vital element in a water network upgrade program, using two-way communications to relay near-real-time information on water usage, pressure variations, leak events, and usage patterns between smart meters and the utility.

• Why Smart Valves Are About To Redefine Water Infrastructure

  For years, water metering followed a predictable path: manual reads, AMR, AMI, more visibility, more data. But utilities are now entering a different operational reality. Visibility alone no longer protects infrastructure.

• Purdue Student Engineers Conquer Blue-White® Assembly Challenge

  See how Purdue engineering students partnered with Blue-White to automate peristaltic pump tube assembly, improving consistency, efficiency, and earning a third-place design award.

• How Cedar Hills Turned Metering Data Into A Conservation Tool

  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.

• AMI Adoption In Water Is Still Structurally Constrained

  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.
• AMI's Next Phase: Turning Meter Data Into Operational Value

  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.
• Beyond Meter-to-Cash: 7 Operational Use Cases Water Utilities Can Unlock With MDM

  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.

• Remote Water Meter Reader: How To Retrofit Existing Water Meters For Automatic Reading

  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.
