The automated metering solution will enable LVVWD to remotely collect meter data, improving efficiency and accuracy of meter reads. It will also give the utility access to detailed usage data for faster bill resolution, enhanced conservation programs and improved customer service.
“Helping utilities make the most of their metering systems and their meter data is our top priority,” said Paula Billingham, vice president of sales, marketing and delivery for Water North America at Itron. “Itron’s automated metering solution for water will give LVVWD the tools it needs to streamline operations and maximize its resources today and into the future.”
