Remote Meter Reading In Burleson, Tex.
New wireless communications and automatic meter reading technology
The City of Burleson is testing the effectiveness of automatic meter reading (AMR) technology using 30 water meters that have been retrofitted or replaced with wireless transmitting devices. The Wi-Fi-based system will enable city workers to remotely read water meters, saving the time and expense of manually reading the meters. The AMR technology also will provide accurate and more frequent readings that will allow the city to respond to leaks more quickly, thereby curtailing water loss and saving money for ratepayers.
