    #05 - MeterSYS: All About AMI

    Tune in for Episode 5! Lauren Brown joins us from MeterSYS to discuss the best-practices and myths behind AMI transitions as well as why this technology is sweeping the industry. MeterSYS is a consulting firm that specializes in helping utilities navigate through AMI and Smart City transitions. An AMI transition project is a comprehensive assessment and upgrade of a utility's existing water metering infrastructure to a more modern system that can read meters remotely on a consistent and frequent basis. This technology has been around for decades, however, factors such high costs and lack of trust in the technology slowed the initial rate of industry adoption. More recently, Lauren shares that AMI technology is gaining widespread momentum and explains why this wave of technology will continue to spread. We hope you enjoy!

    #03 - Itron: Listening For Leaks

    Patrick Hamilton joins us to discuss Itron’s evolution in the utility industry as well as how their OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor helps utilities better identify where their water is leaking into the ground. Non-revenue water is an increasingly important topic to address in the utility industry. To summarize, it is the difference between how much water is produced by a utility and how much water they end up billing their customers for. While estimates vary by region, these leaks in the distribution network account for an average of 20% of total water produced by U.S. utilities. Patrick shares insight on this growing “epidemic” and how Itron’s leak sensing technology has its ears to the ground for where this is happening. We hope you enjoy.

    #01 - Water Pigeon: A New Approach to Remote Meter Reading

    Sarp Sekeroglu, the cofounder and CEO of Water Pigeon, joins us to share his story of creating a unique approach to remote meter reading and navigating the water industry as a start-up. Water meters measure the volume of water that passes through a certain point which informs utilities how much to bill their customers. Most water meters in the United States are read manually, meaning a person has to visually inspect every meter at least as frequently as customers are billed. As these meters get older and eventually need to be replaced, new “smart metering” technology allows meters to be read remotely and more frequently. Remote meter reading comes with widespread benefits and operational savings for utilities, however, replacing and upgrading every meter is an enormous financial undertaking. Sarp and his team have created a new way to achieve this at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy!
