THE PROJECT UPGRADES 1,400 EXISTING MANUAL-READ PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL WATER METERS WITH AN ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE(AMI) SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM WILL INCLUDE METERS, DATA COLLECTION STATIONS, RADIO TRANSMITTERS, METER DATA ANALYSIS, AND BILLING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. THE AMI SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE THE RECIPIENT WITH REAL-TIME DATA TO DETECT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM LOSSES AND UNUSUAL OR CONTINUOUS USAGE PATTERNS. BY IMPROVING METERING ACCURACY, THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN ANNUAL WATER SAVINGS OF 22 ACRE-FEET.
