City Upgrading Water Meters Beginning this Fall

This fall, the City of Lenoir will start a project to upgrade all the water meters in the city and improve the city’s meter reading system.

The City will replace all the old water meters with new, highly-accurate smart meters. These smart meters will send usage data to City Hall through a wireless network. This technology is known as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).

Public Utilities Director Radford Thomas said this project will provide upgrades to City water system, improve operations, and provide better customer service.

“Our goal is to maintain a healthy water system, improve the system when possible, and provide excellent customer service,” Thomas said. “This AMI project will meet all those goals.”
