Smart water meter management
In 2009, the Octave Ultrasonic Meter redefined the landscape of commercial and industrial water metering. Sixteen years later, it remains a trusted solution for utilities navigating today’s infrastructure challenges. This milestone reflects more than longevity. It highlights Octave’s role in helping utilities address aging infrastructure, climate variability, and rising customer expectations through precision, resilience, and […]
Clean, safe drinking water is one of the most essential services a community can provide—but for decades, the systems behind that water have largely remained out of sight and out of mind. That’s changing. As cities and utilities face growing demands, aging infrastructure, and tightening resources, the waterworks industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Technology […]
Spring is a season of renewal. As homeowners declutter and refresh their living spaces, water utilities are also taking proactive steps to prepare for the seasonal shift. Warmer temperatures bring increased water usage, unpredictable weather patterns, and a renewed focus on ensuring infrastructure is operating at peak efficiency. Just as spring cleaning is essential for […]
January has been a wake-up call about just how unpredictable the weather can be across the U.S. From raging wildfires out West to brutal winter storms in the East, extreme weather events aren’t just rare occurrences — they’re becoming the norm. And water utilities, which are at the heart of keeping life running smoothly, are […]
Our municipal drinking water utilities work tirelessly to ensure our water is safe to drink. And thanks to all their hard work, we don’t really think much about where our water comes from. We simply turn on the faucet and consume what comes out. The reality, however, is that the quality of water at its […]
Protecting the quality of water sources — for both drinking and recreation — is a year-round pursuit, but during the hot summer months, water utilities must contend with a few unique challenges brought on by warmer weather. One of the most common summer water quality threats is the appearance of harmful algal blooms (HABs), masses […]
Water professionals from across North America gathered in Toronto, Ontario, last week at the American Water Works Association’s annual ACE event for three days of education, networking, and discovery. Master Meter was proud to be among the participants. During the event, our National Strategic Account Manager, Greg Land, had the opportunity to speak with Water […]
Valentine’s Day is all about love — and we think there’s a whole lot to love about water utilities and the unsung heroes who keep water flowing to and from our homes and businesses. It may seem effortless: water appears when we turn on the tap, and it goes down the drain when we flush. […]
With the turn of the calendar page from December to January, many of us also turn our attention to New Year’s resolutions. After all, January represents a fresh start — and it’s as good a time as any to take stock of how we’re doing, both personally and professionally, and how we might change for […]
It’s mid-December. Fun and festive holiday gatherings are just around the corner. But those aren’t the only things heading our way; for many parts of the country, cold and wintry weather looms ahead. By now, preparation for plummeting temps is well underway for most water and wastewater utilities who are used to dealing with winter […]
Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of year. It affords us an opportunity to reflect upon and show gratitude for the blessings in our lives. As we take time to acknowledge those dearest to us, we believe it’s also a perfect opportunity to recognize and thank the thousands of men and women who work tirelessly […]
When you hear the word tackle, what image comes to mind? Perhaps you picture football (’tis the season, after all). But when we think about tackling our aging water and wastewater systems, slamming into them at the force of a linebacker might not be all that productive. Indeed, tackling aging infrastructure can be much more […]
There’s no denying that technology has pervaded our lives, both personal and professional. From our cell phones and smart watches to artificial intelligence and space exploration, we are employing innovative tools that would have been unimaginable just 50 years ago. Over the past few decades, the water industry has begun to embrace technology as well. […]
Last week, thousands of water industry professionals gathered at the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) annual conference in San Antonio, Texas. It’s been a long three years since we last had an opportunity to attend this important event in person — and the excitement was palpable as colleagues and peers reunited once again. We at […]
From space, the blue and green marble we call home looks deceptively watery. It’s true that about 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, but most of it — over 96% — is saltwater. That leaves about 3.5% in the form of freshwater. But, here’s the thing: Most of THAT is locked up […]
Turn on the tap and clean water comes out. Sounds simple, right? Maybe a little too simple? In reality, the delivery of drinking water is an intricate process, from intake to treatment to distribution, that has evolved over thousands of years. At every step, today’s water utilities are acutely focused on ensuring drinking water is […]
When utilities observe Fix a Leak Week (on March 14-20 this year), they mostly communicate outwardly to residents, informing their customers to check their faucets, toilet flappers, or garden hoses for drips, which can add up to a lot of water waste. But what if we as an industry took this opportunity to get our […]
What gets you up each morning? If you’re like the thousands of water professionals we’ve talked to over the years, you share a passion for an industry that impacts every aspect of modern life, because water is essential to healthy bodies and economies. And by “you,” we mean the people behind the water utility. You […]
Actions speak louder than words. For now, we’ll have to settle for these words detailing the actions we’re taking and those we plan to take. At Master Meter, we are on the forefront of helping water utility managers leverage technology to create a utility of the future. Our technology, advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) and meter […]
