Meter Pilot Program
VAID is very pleased to announce that we successfully applied for a grant for $ 969,352.00 from the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs that will cover all the costs of purchasing and installing water meters to all our water connections.
The following links provide initial project information. More information will be added to address public concerns arising at the community meeting May 22 or requests directed to VAID.
The meters will use cellular-based AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), using existing cellular networks to collect meter data. Once in place, residents will be able to access their water data online, using a system like Neptune360.
A convenient, proactive way for consumers to monitor their own water consumption 24/7. Users no longer have to wait for a bill to detect possible issues, which means less water lost and fewer high bill complaints. Users can set water thresholds and out-of-town alerts for greater peace of mind. And water conservation is encouraged when consumers can see how much they actually use with easy-to-read charts and graphs.
Neptune My360 is web-based to work on all devices and is always up-to-date. Easily customize to your utility’s branding and get up and running quickly without the need for complex integrations.
