  3. Augusta, Georgia Commercial AMR Meter Installation Project

  4. Performance AMR • Project period July 1 2003 – May 31 2005 • Installed 7000 Commercial Badger potable water AMR meters • Overall Meter reading accuracy is calculated at 99.3% exceeding the performance guarantee value of 97% • Modernized a 50 year water meter infrastructure

  5. Large Meter Installs • 486 Large Meters Installed, 3” – 10” • Each site received a comprehensive survey to confirm correct meter type and size.

  6. Medium Meter Installs • Installed 1,323 meters, 1.5” and 2” • in a variety of conditions (dirt, sidewalk, parking lots, etc…) • Confirmed correct meter application and sizing

  7. Small Meter Installs • Installed 4,191 , 5/8” and 1” • 1,000 residential meter installs • in a variety of conditions (dirt, sidewalk, parking lots, etc…) • Infrastructure repairs, modifications, or replacement

  8. Work Order Statistics • 7,613 work orders received • 7,014 work orders completed • 599 work orders deactivated • Duplicate work orders • Utility requested • Unable to install, returned to Utility • Bottom line result total completion

  9. 2005 M&V Process • Testing was conducted in the field during the 4th Quarter of 2004 and 1st Quarter of 2005 • Testing was performed in accordance with AWWA guidelines • Each meter was tested at 3 different flow rates to simulate different water demands • Overall performance of meter accuracy was weighted based on the 3 flow rates; Low = 5%, Medium = 15%, and High = 80%

  10. Maintenance Plan • Began on January 1, 2005 • Maintain 97% meter read accuracy for a period of 10 yrs through a scheduled maintenance plan (Currently guaranteed for 2 yrs with a Client option for a 3rd year) through a 3 step process • Monitoring and Cleaning • Annual Rebuild • Measurement and Verification
