Advanced Metering Infrastructure - Marin Water Service Area

Marin Municipal Water District is preparing to deploy a cellular-based Advanced Metering Infrastructure system across its service area in California to modernize water metering operations. The initiative involves replacing existing water meter covers with new units equipped with integrated radio transmitters and dataloggers, enabling fully remote meter reading and real-time data collection without requiring manual field visits. The system is designed to significantly improve operational efficiency by automating data acquisition, strengthening leak detection through continuous usage monitoring, and providing customers with more timely and accurate water consumption information. This upgrade supports broader water management goals by facilitating better resource planning, reducing labor-intensive processes, and enhancing overall system reliability. The project is forecasted to be initiated in June 2026, with primary coordination handled by the District’s Director of Water Resources, Paul Sellier.
