Imperial Irrigation District had an initiative in front of them that took into account replacing meters and reading processes. The utility also began looking for an IP-based remote meter reading solution that utilized hosted software. The hosted solution would need to work in conjunction with IID’s existing billing system while integrating its various data collection technologies— without requiring additional expertise or more staff in the field. The new system would need inherent time-of-use (TOU) functionality to lessen peak demand and peak usage by C&I users and also web-based presentation to allow customers to analyze usage patterns. Relying on the previous success of Itron’s MV-RS® data collection system for its keyed reads, and prior satisfaction with Itron’s staff and support, IID again looked to Itron.
