Rural Water Metering Solutions

Unique and significant challenges for rural communities

Revenue, resources, management

Rural communities are unique not just in their lifestyle and their culture, but in their sources of revenue and management of resources. When it comes to metering, many rural towns and villages struggle with the balance between managing a wide variety of metering issues and the advantages and costs of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and automated meter reading (AMR) systems.

Metering and Technology Solutions is here to help

Metering and Technology Solutions specializes in only meters and is a distributor, installer and back-up service provider of rural metering systems in Minnesota, Iowa, western Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.
