City of Jal Partners With Sustainability Partners to Implement Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
CHANDLER, Ariz., July 11, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The City of Jal, New Mexico, launched its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project with Sustainability Partners this week. Over the next three months, Jal will replace approximately 1,000 existing water meters with new Kamstrup ultrasonic meters that provide and remotely transmit near real-time water usage data. This technology will help the city reach its water conservation goals. For this project, Jal partnered with Sustainability Partners, a leader in providing communities with infrastructure funding, deployment, and maintenance.
Jal Mayor Stephen Aldridge underscores the city's unwavering commitment to responsible water use, stating, "Implementing AMI is not just a step, but a leap towards ensuring sustainable water management in Jal."
This transformative project replaces Jal’s outdated system with AMI technology, a comprehensive system that measures, collects, and analyzes water usage data. Incorporating hardware, software, communication tools, and customer displays will provide a cost-effective approach to enhancing customer service, improving water conservation, and, most importantly, providing near real-time water usage data for Jal water utility customers. Sustainability Partners is collaborating with Resource Wise and L&T Services to install and integrate Jal’s new AMI system.
Ryan Mast, lead Infrastructure Partner of Sustainability Partners in New Mexico, said, "We're thrilled to partner with the City of Jal on this important initiative. AMI technology offers a powerful solution for water conservation, and the benefits will be felt by residents and the environment for years to come."
