New smart metering infrastructure will save
Mesquite in operation costs and lost revenue
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced that it has been selected by the City of Mesquite, Texas
to install a comprehensive smart metering infrastructure
improvement project for its residential and commercial water
utility customers.
The project will include the installation of solid-state water
meters and an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system to
allow for wireless reading of water usage data to replace the
current manual reading of meters. Ameresco will replace more than
42,000 water meters and 41,000 meter boxes citywide. At the end of
the first year, the city is expected to accrue operational
savings.
By implementing an AMI system, Mesquite will be able to more
accurately capture metered water consumption and more effectively
manage future rate increases. The new automated meter reading by an
AMI system will reduce estimated meter reading and meter
accessibility issues and minimize billing errors across the city.
Additionally, the installation of this new system will enable the
city staff to provide greater customer service for its water
utility customers by providing access to water usage data through a
new customer web portal where customers can visit their historical
utility consumption data.
“We are thrilled at all the advancements taking place in our
community, which will provide our water utility customers with a
greater level of transparency into their water consumption levels
and reduce our operational costs. Ameresco has an impressive track
record of implementing advanced metering technologies and smart
city solutions, and that made them the ideal partner for this
project,” said City Manager Cliff Keheley.
“Implementing a new and improved water metering system is a
strong step forward for the City of Mesquite as it continues to
make efforts for a more sustainable future,” said Ameresco vice
president, Bob Georgeoff. “We are delighted to have been selected
to lead this project to replace and upgrade the city’s existing
infrastructure. Over time, together we will help Mesquite capture
water usage data and reduce maintenance costs that can be
reinvested back into the community.”
The project is expected to be completed in the next two
years.
