New York City implements wireless automated meter reading system
Human meter readers will soon be as obsolete as coachmen, not just in New York City, but in other American municipalities. New York has announced that it will be replacing over 800,000 water meters, currently read by humans, by wireless meters monitored automatically. The new system will inform residents in real time about their water consumption and allow the city to find and fix leaks rapidly. New York’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications has hired Aclara Technology to install the system. The estimated cost is $250 million.
