AMR, AMI AND METERING RESOURCES

• 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.

• Turning AMI Data Into Better Customer Service

  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.
