Summary
The City of Springtown, TX selected Ameresco under Local Government Code 302 (LG302) to develop and implement an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project to optimize its water system resiliency. Over 1,500 water meters were replaced with AMI and associated data integration, giving citizens access to water usage through a dedicated customer portal. The project also included the repair and rehabilitation of 223 manholes to reduce wastewater treatment costs and extend the life of manhole assets.
“From the outset, Ameresco’s team took the time to understand our specific needs and designed a tailored solution that would integrate seamlessly with our existing systems. Their deep knowledge of water metering technologies, AMI systems, and infrastructure rehabilitation was evident, as they were able to guide us through every phase of the project with clarity and confidence.”
