Journal AWWA - The Economics of Remote Meter Reading
Journal Article by American Water Works Association, 11/01/1986
Shierry, Robert S.
Full Description
Gaining access to residences to read water meters is difficult in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where unusually large numbers of students and longer-term residents move in and out of apartments and houses frequently. The Northern Illinois Water Corporation's Champaign-Urbana Division therefore decided to undertake a program to install remote meter-reading equipment on all meters, beginning in 1981. The economic considerations are discussed as well as the success of the program to date. Includes tables.
