AMR, AMI AND METERING RESOURCES

• 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. 

• Modernizing Water Stewardship In The Desert Southwest

  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.

• From AMI To Operational Control: Why Performance, Control, And Confidence Matter

  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.

• How The City Of Fallon Improved Sodium Hydroxide Dosing Reliability

  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.

• 5 Questions Utility Leaders Must Ask About Their AMI Strategy

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

• Reaching Utility-Grade AMI Without Compromise: How Utilities Can Remove Barriers To High-Performance Networks

  Overcome the financial and operational barriers to high-performance AMI by exploring how specialized network architecture and service-based delivery models eliminate risk. Learn how to achieve prioritized communication, long-term resilience, and total operational control without upfront costs.

• Do Water Meters Still Need External Transmitters?

  Expectations for transparency and reliability in water-metering infrastructure have risen. As a result, a fundamental question is emerging across the industry: if modern ultrasonic meters are already smart, why are we still adding intelligence outside the meter?
• Common AMI Implementation Mistakes And How To Avoid Them

  The journey from manual water-meter reads to a fully integrated digital ecosystem is long and complex. To help utilities along, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) released the global Smart Metering Playbook, which includes both implementation best practices and common pitfalls. Here are five common advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rollout mistakes from the Playbook, along with examples of how to overcome them.

• Why Multi‑Commodity Utilities Need Smart Meter Data Management

  Breaking down data silos allows multi-commodity utilities to improve operational efficiency and infrastructure visibility. By managing water and electric data on a shared platform, providers can detect leaks faster and support long-term conservation goals.
