Meters should be read at sufficiently frequent intervals appropriate to support the utility’s understanding of volume of production, consumption, and rate structures, to provide accurate bills, and feedback to its customers, transparency and to support sustainability efforts.
Nov 11, 2019 · There is widespread consensus regarding the necessity of promoting efficient use of water, but how water utilities should be regulated, and how water metering and tariffs should be designed to achieve this end, remain subject to debate.

If you are of a certain age you probably remember the meter man walking through your neighborhood once every two or three months. He would walk up to each house and read the water meter, jotting down the numbers on a notepad. This information would then have to be compiled and analyzed back at the municipal offices. While the adoption of computer t...
In areas where it was not practical to send a meter reader individually to each house (for instance, in some of the sparsely populated water districts in the western U.S., which may encompass thousands of square miles), an honor system was devised. Once or twice a year, a postcard would be supplied to each water customer, who would then be expected...
The first big technological improvement to manual reading came with the invention of a hand-held device which allowed the meter reader to simply touch the device to the meter to download the information, rather than have to open and read each meter individually. This not only saved significant time and labor costs, it also improved the accuracy of ...
With the invention of AMR (Advanced Meter Reading) technology, meter readers no longer had to walk down the street. Information from each meter is wirelessly transmitted every few seconds, and is accessible for a short distance, enabling the meter reader to simply drive by and collect the data with a transceiver in the vehicle. The information is t...
The newest water metering technology eliminates the physical visit to the metered neighborhoods. With the long range data transmission capability of AMI technology, data can now be collected directly and automatically over a distance of ½ to 5 miles away. This has revolutionary implications: 1. AMI enables far more frequent meter readings, such as ...
Enter intelligent water metering (IM) which offers the potential to transform urban water management. IM enables the determination, in real-time or near real-time, of water consumption, and provides the possibility to read consumption both locally and remotely.
