SLC WELCOMES JOHN KOSIUR AS OUR NEW OPERATIONS MANAGER.

February 20, 2012.

Davisburg, MI

SLC announces the appointment of our new operations manager, John Kosiur.  With 15 years of experience in underground construction management and almost as many in water service products sales, John brings his expertise and shared vision of success to SLC. "I'm fired up and excited about the new distribution technologies" said John.

If you need anything, John can be reached at                1-800-433-4332 x 317.

    

 SLC Meter awarded contract to implement 10,000 SM700 meters
and
the Mega-Net AMI system  for the City of Inkster.

"It wasn't the least expensive proposal, but it was the best long term value" 
said the city public works director, Carl Brooks.

After Several delays and postponements, the water meter replacement program is underway in Inkster. Stuck with an obsolete pulse type reading system that was no longer supported by the manufacturer and a 25% water loss, the City made the decision to research technologies and develop a request for proposal. The RFP was released in late 2010 and took several months to review the responses, check references and make a decision.  "We had one shot to get this right and we didn't want to miss anything" said Brooks.

Phase one of the project began in early September with the installation of the "fixed network infrastructure". This is the technology backbone that consists of a data base and the two repeaters which gather the meter readings and forward them to city hall. The network was up and verified within days. The next phase consisted of replacing the old mechanical type commercial meters with new high accuracy Elster evoQ4 solid state meters. Within one month of installation, the revenue has nearly doubled. 

The final phase includes replacing all residential meters which began in january and is expected to be complete by the end of August.  "We are very pleased with SLC. They are a great partner and have been there every step of the way" said brooks.  

In Memoriam:  Carl Brooks, Public Works Director for the City of Inkster passed away suddenly on February 8, 2012 at the age of 54. Carl was our friend for over 30 years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

State-of-the-Art Meter & Distribution Management System.

 
The only true end to end wireless solution.
 

  

When it comes to aquiring and managing meter and distribution system information, nothing performs like MEGA-NET.

All other fixed network systems require elaborate and complicated data collection networks, third party  communication agreements and "Boost, Buddy or Tri-Mode" for their end points.  MEGA-NET stands alone as the only AMI system that does not require any of these.

 Highly intelligent, fully intuitive and yet user friendly. MEGA-NET is like having your own personal asisstant give you the information you need, when you need it.

 Washington to replace water meter reading system
 "
O'Leary said the township was accepting the right company and product by going with SLC Meter Service".

Advisors & Source News Papers

 

Washington Township officials approved spending more than $700,000 to replace the township's wireless water meter reading system during the July 20 meeting.

The new system, which includes transmitters, data collectors and central computer components, will be purchased and installed in the coming months by SLC Meter Service to replace the current units that have started to fail according to township officials.

The board approved the purchase on a 7-0 vote.

Supervisor Dan O'Leary said approximately 1,000 of the current meter transmitting devices have begun to fail with more failures likely.

"Those signals don't work on 1,000 units, and to read them is time-consuming and costly, and they are failing at such a rate that eventually almost 6,000 of them will fail and we will be reading meters like it is 1950 again," said O'Leary. "Not good for the customer, not good for us from a cost standpoint."

Clerk Kathy Bosheers, who handled the bid process for the new system, said the automated meter reading system allows the township to better monitor the water that is coming into the township from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department and what is being used by residents.

"We will be able to understand if we have leaks and leak detection sooner. We will also be able to also improve our overall billing system," said Bosheers

 

Bosheers said the eventual goal is to allow people to have a budget plan, monthly bills and the ability to monitor their bills online.

Bosheers added that the system provides a measure of safety as well.

"We won't have to come to your home and knock on your door to read your meter, so you won't have to worry about it and we won't have to send an employee out to do that," she said, adding that the system uses low-frequency radio waves to transmit and collect the data.

O'Leary said payback for the system would occur in less than a decade just counting the savings on meter reading.

"This is something we strongly recommend," he said.

..............O'Leary said, " the township was accepting the right company and product by going with SLC Meter Service".

"History and experience was one of the criteria, and frankly our history and experience with Datamatic has been appalling," he said.

Datamatic is the company that provided the current generation of meter reading equipment.

The system installation will begin in the coming months and township officials said it will be completed before the end of November.
