Meter  Data  Management  City Of Georgetown (TEXAS) deployed the nation’s first AMR/MDM

system for both electric and water meters in the mid ‘90s.

The original ElectSolve MDM is being upgraded to ElectSolve’s uCentra Operational Data Management System (ODMS) to maximize business operations with easy access to critical meter and utility system data from operational systems: AMI (Advance Meter

Infrastructure) AMR (Automated Meter

Reads) CIS (Customer Information

System) SCADA (Supervisory Control

and Data Acquisition) OMS (Outage

Management System) GIS (Geographic

Information System).

With AquaAlerts, the customers decide the amount of water use after which they will be alerted. For instance if they wish to be e-mailed after they have used 10,000 gallons of water in a single billing month> Once they use 10,000 gallons, they will be alert with a e-mail letting them know.
