The Replacement of Water Meters
The City of Winter Springs is inviting sealed proposals for the replacement of its water meters with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
Currently, there are 14,808 potable water meters and 2,242 reclaim water meters distributed across a 15 square mile area. The city is looking for ultrasonic metering that includes AMI data collection and an integrated acoustic leak detection solution. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of meter data collection, streamline the billing process, and improve the utility’s interface with its customers.
The evolution of water meter technology has significantly changed the way utilities operate. In the past, older technology required meter readers to visit individual sites to read meters physically. In contrast, AMI meters enable remote collection of water usage data in real time. This not only supports more frequent billing but also allows utilities to quickly identify excessive water use, which may indicate leaks.
