AMR, AMI AND METERING RESOURCES

  • Severn Trent is reducing water loss and improving customer engagement with smart meters and advanced data analytics, achieving measurable results in leak detection, conservation, and operational efficiency.

  • What began as a mandate to reduce water loss has grown into a model of smart water management for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians (EBCI). Since deploying Kamstrup’s ultrasonic meters in 2016, the utility has transitioned from crisis response to innovation leadership—proving that even the most rugged terrain can support advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

  • Smart meters, sensors, and operational systems generate a constant stream of information about water flow, pressure, consumption, and system performance. But data alone doesn't solve problems—it's the ability to understand and act on this information that drives real operational improvements.

  • 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.

  • Located in the state of Illinois, Exeter-Merritt Water Cooperative delivers safe and high-quality drinking water to approximately 300 residents from the county of Scott and Morgan. In 2011, the cooperative decided to do a phase 3 expansion and include additional homes in the rural area resulting in connections increasing from 154 to 325. Exeter and Merritt are small rural towns built on hilly terrains and gravel roads, with most of the meters installed in the countryside.

  • Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.
  • Read this case study to discover how the City of Santa Barbara uses Hubbell’s comprehensive water utility solutions to enhance customer service.

  • Most water utilities worldwide face significant challenges in reducing non-revenue water (NRW), frequently impeded by operational inefficiencies and resources shortage. Romania's largest public water company, RAJA SA, faced similar obstacles and embarked on a transformative initiative in the city of Constanța. In partnership with AGS Water Solutions, RAJA implemented a performance-based service contract (PBSC) for NRW management and adopted innovative digital tools to support the new integrated water meter management approach. This initiative offers valuable insights for utilities seeking to scale digitalization and improve operational efficiency.

  • Recent advancements in wireless metering are transforming utility modernization. With this, network operators now play a central role in utility infrastructure projects, reinventing delivery with new protocols, pricing, and customer engagement models tailored to low-bandwidth applications like water metering and other water management use cases.
  • While AMI’s benefits are widely recognized, implementation remains a major challenge for many utilities. This article offers practical insights into navigating the complex path to AMI deployment.

AMR, AMI AND METERING SOLUTIONS

  • FlexNet EasyLink™ Radio Reader

    The FlexNet EasyLink™ Reader is a portable, radio-based device used to acquire data from utility meters that utilize Sensus SmartPoint® modules and/or Itron ERT radios. The Reader is compact and portable, allowing it to be used in any vehicle providing 12-volt DC power.

  • OMNI™ Compound (C²) Water Meters

    Improve your accuracy ranges in schools, hospitals, retail centers and more with our OMNI™ Compound (C²) water meters. The most technologically advanced, large water meters on the market, OMNI C² meters provide longer service life than all other comparable meters. And you don’t have to be concerned about sustained flow rates because there are no restrictions, thanks to their continuous operating range. These meters are similar to our OMNI™ Turbo (T²) models, but OMNI C² meters have a wider flow range.

  • EyeOnWater Consumer Engagement Tool

    The EyeOnWater consumer engagement tool gives utility customers the power to manage their water use through easy-to-understand consumption graphs and configurable leak notifications, providing timely, visual access to their water usage behavior.

  • CO2 Feed System

    The CO2 Feed System is a safe and effective way to adjust pH and minimize risk associated with dangerous mineral acids.

  • E-Series® Ultrasonic Plus Meter

    The E-Series® Ultrasonic Plus meter uses transit time technology to measure cold potable water and incorporates an integrated valve into the lay length of the meter. This valve feature allows water utilities to actuate the valve remotely to temporarily restrict water service safely and efficiently.
