Installation of New Sonata Ultrasonic Water Meters

Exciting Upgrade to Blackland WSC Meter Reading Infrastructure

We are thrilled to announce a significant upgrade to Blackland WSC's meter reading infrastructure that has been in design, planning and phased implementation for over 1 year that will enhance accuracy, improve leak detection, and empower you to manage your water consumption and budget more effectively. 

Key Benefits of the Upgrade

1. Enhanced Accuracy: The new meters will provide precise readings, ensuring that your water usage is recorded accurately.

2. Improved Leak Detection: The advanced system will help identify leaks promptly, conserving water and preventing high water bills due to undectected leaks. 

3. Better Consumption Management: With real-time data available, you can monitor your water usage throughout the month and make informed decisions to manage your budget.

Partnership and Implementation:

  • Phase One Start Date: October 14th
  • Partners: Blackland WSC, Master Meter Inc. and Putt Bro's Meter and Hydrant

Equipment: 800 AMI Ultrasonic Master Meters will replace the older 3G drive-by network meters.

About the AMI Network

The new AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) network is a two-way communication system that automates the collection of detailed metering information.  This system allows for real-time, on demand data interrogation, providing you with up-to-date information on your water usage.

Change-Out Process

  • Notification: You will be notified door-to-door by a Putt Bro's employee or Blackland WSC staff.  A door hanger will be left with instructions on the change-out process and how to join the MY WATER ADVISOR app.
  • Service Interruption: Water service will be turned off for approximately 10 to 15 minutes (possibly longer depending on meter box condition/situation) per location during the meter installation.  

Post-Installation: If there is any air or cloudy water in your lines after the installation, simply flush an interior sink or tub to clear it.  This should take only a few seconds.  If issues persist, please call Blackland WSC at 972-771-6375 for assistance.
