Equipped with a wireless AMR system, Elster’s V100 water meters will help WBWC’s project to manage water resources efficiently, provide greater control over water leakage and wastage, and provide accurate usage figures.
Elster said the V100 offers high accuracy, long-life, low maintenance and tamper-proof operation.
WBWC project manager Phil Green said in October 2009, WBWC received AUD5.7m ($6.03m) of Australian government funding through the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns program under the Water for the Future initiative for the Proud Mary: Modernising Maryborough’s Water Systems project.
"This project includes work associated with the modernising and upgrade of the water reticulation system throughout Maryborough, with the aims of reducing water leakage and wastage, and providing a more effective water supply and usage monitoring system," Green said.
Elster’s water metering business in Australia managing director Rob Campbell said WBWC will have access to accurate usage data that can be analysed to help forecast and manage production capacity.
