“We notice a big difference in our efficiency,” says Fito Torres, Lead Operator for Town of Dexter, since installing the new water meters and meter reading system. “There is no comparison to the efficiency [of the new drive-by system] to manual readings.” With this new meter reading system, the meter locations are plotted on Google Maps and the meter reader drives-by to read meters. “We now read meters in two to three hours,” says Torres. “With the extra time, we can break [our personnel] loose from reading meters and they can catch-up on jobs they’re assigned to, which is great.”
