Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, today announced that it has been selected by Woodlands Water to install automatic metering infrastructure (AMI) across its service area in Montgomery County, Texas. The AMI project will optimize the operations of Woodlands Water by creating a more efficient and effective water distribution system, while enhancing transparency for customers into water consumption and their monthly bills.
Following a competitive solicitation beginning in July 2019, Woodlands Water selected Ameresco to provide a “turnkey” solution to identify, design, install and monitor a comprehensive water efficiency program. Over the next 18 months, Ameresco will install more than 34,000 smart water meters across the Woodlands service area, which will seamlessly integrate water consumption data into customers’ existing WaterSmart portals.
“Among the many benefits of this project is an unprecedented level of transparency that our customers will have into their water consumption, including the ability to view and track usage from any computer or mobile device,” said James M. Stinson, PE, general manager for Woodlands Water. “Ameresco’s expertise in the area of smart city solutions and advanced metering technologies made them our ideal partner for this project.”
By providing more frequent and detailed information about water usage across its service area, Woodlands Water will be better equipped to detect and stop leaks before they can become a greater problem. This information also allows for enhanced customer engagement and service.
“Automatic metering infrastructure helps communities take better control of how they use and conserve water,” said Bob Georgeoff, vice president of Ameresco. “By replacing and upgrading existing infrastructure now, Woodlands Water will avoid the need for future improvements and help its customers cut down on unnecessary and costly overuse of water at home.”
