How does the AMI water metering system work?
Each existing water meter will have a new sensor installed on behalf of the community. This added sensor will capture an hourly meter read and transmits the data using a standard radio frequency. The hourly meter readings are then forwarded directly to the community's administration office for processing.
No, the AMI water meter transmits data through a radio antenna attached to the water meter.
