How the "Smart" Technology Works (R900)
Both meters are equipped with an R900 radio transmitter.
- No more manual reads: The transmitter send your meter reading via encrypted radio signal to a receiver used by town staff as they drive by.
- Privacy: The signal only contains your meter ID and the reading--no personal information is ever transmitted over the air.
- 15-Minute Data: The system tracks usage in 15-minute intervals. This helps the Town see exactly when water is being used.
- Leak Alerts: The R900 monitors for continuous flow and flags potential leaks to help you save money.
