October 04, 2024
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.
