Rural Water - Quarter 2, 2008 - (Page 9) evolution™ AMI Water conservation is a natural outgrowth of our technology. The time is now. The need is critical. The intelligent use and efficient management of our water resources are more important now than ever. Increasing water consumption, droughts, and growing populations have diminished supplies of fresh, potable water and created the demand for a smart metering solution. Elster AMCO Water’s evolution™ AMI provides the solution through innovative advanced metering technology that drives utility-wide conservation efforts and effectively manages and measures water consumption. An intelligent two-way communications-based system, evolution AMI’s advanced features enable utilities to acquire on-demand readings, real-time leak detection, and tampering or backflow notifications. evolution AMI is the only advanced meter reading technology that offers a complete, end-to-end AMI solution with the capability to migrate from mobile AMR to fixed network AMI without system change out. Utilities are empowered to implement TOU (Time-of-Use) rate programs, promoting conservation through efficient water usage while protecting their revenue stream. The utilities can use evolution’s in-home user display to quickly and easily provide consumers with a real time picture of daily water usage, effectively encouraging their participation in conservation. evolution AMI also empowers utilities with remote valve actuation which automatically shuts off water to a residence, conserving water, preventing floods, and adjusting water consumption on a seasonal basis. Competitively priced for high and low volume deployments, evolution AMI provides low infrastructure and administrative costs, while supporting true utility-wide conservation efforts. The time is now. The need is critical. evolution™ AMI www.elster-evolution.com http://www.elster-evolution.com
