United States : FPUD approves Phase II of meter upgrades
Publish Date : 16-Aug-2016
Some of the Fallbrook Public Utility Districts (FPUD) meters which are read by radio when FPUD personnel drive by the meter are set to end the dependable lifespan along with the related radio-based endpoints.
FPUD's board has approved Phase II of meter upgrades. The board addressed the replacement need in June ,when a 5-0 vote approved the procurement of 1,165 Badger Recordall meters of various sizes from National Meter and Automation, Inc., for $220,147.20 and the procurement of 1,176 encoder receiver transmitters from Inland Works Water Supply Co. for $102,441.44.
FPUD general manager Brian Brady, said 'This is a five-year program to replace all of our automatic meter reading equipment with advanced metering infrastructure.'
FPUD initially procured water meters with encoder receiver transmitters in 2002, which allowed to convert meter reading to a drive-by system. The drive-by meter reading not just decreased the staff time required to read the meters but also allowed for more accurate reads.
