One of the biggest game-changing technologies to be introduced to water service is an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution, which allows remote collection of meter data for billing and maintenance purposes. Installing an AMI system requires a significant initial investment; however, the technology can pay for itself over time with customer service and water measurement improvements and reduced operations costs. Advanced meter infrastructure is more accurate and efficient than automatic meter reading (AMR), drive-by, touch pad or one-way reading systems, allowing utilities to immediately become more profitable and reliable.
