North Ridgeville, OH installs Wi-Fi water meters
North Ridgeville, Ohio (pop. 28,000; 23 square miles) is doing what many municipalities have been busy with lately: upgrading the water meters in homes and buildings to Wi-F- enabled meters that allow the city to monitor how much water people are using. North Ridgeville plans to install 11,500 water meters. The project costs $2.8 million. The city says that the new system will allow them to find leaks and cut down on tampering of meters. Residents will know in real time how much water they are consuming and take appropriate steps towards conservation. No word yet on whether they will open the network to public Internet access.
