Why install this advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) now?
July 31, 2025The city is installing this new infrastructure because the old meters are wearing out; many of them have been in use for over 15 years. As meters age, their accuracy begins to decline In addition, the new system will include Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will save labor time, prevent recording errors, minimize wear and tear on vehicles, minimize the need for city employees to make site visits for reads, and identified leaks earlier by analysis of data collected. AMI technology will also streamline the process of transferring responsibility for an account when a customer moves in or out. Any meter that has more life to it, will be retrofitted with a ERT. The City will be able to improve customer service and operate your utilities at a greater level of efficiency.
