a low flow capability of 0.015 gallons per minute for the life of the meter. The significance of consistent low flow measurement is that it reduces non-revenue water by accurately measuring every drop of water that is supplied to the network. Water that reaches the end-customer but is not billed for can be costly to a utility, since this is the point where water reaches its highest cost to produce and deliver.
“With our waterworks customer's increased focus on cost efficiency and reducing water revenue loss, Kamstrup has been a perfect solution."

Kamstrup’s advanced meter reading system, READy, simplifies the amount of meter reading equipment necessary to read meters remotely. With a smart phone or tablet, READy plots all meter locations on Google Maps; as the drive-by meter reading takes place, all water consumption information and data such as water temperature, leaks, bursts, or tamper are also recorded and sent to the billing software.
“We are pleased to offer water systems innovative water metering solutions from Kamstrup alongside the project expertise that Dakota Supply Group provides,” said Jake Heikkinen, VP of Sales for Kamstrup Water Metering in Atlanta, Ga. “We are confident our customers will benefit from the value of dedicated distributorship and reliable metering solutions.”
Malcolm Macdonald, Waterworks Segment Manager for Dakota Supply Group, added, "We're still very early in our partnership with Kamstrup, but the early successes we've seen have been exciting, not only for us, but for our customers as well. They clearly see the benefits of smart water metering technology, and with our waterworks customer's increased focus on cost efficiency and reducing water revenue loss, Kamstrup has been a perfect solution."
