TWCA Annual Convention: Advanced metering for Water Lessons Learned, David Allen
- 1. Advanced Metering for Water – Lessons Learned David Allen SL-serco
- 2. SL-serco
- 4. Fort Worth – Timeline and SWIFT funding • Feasibility Assessment, 2013 • Task Force – Outsourcing Evaluation, 2015 • TWDB- SWIFT Funding, 2016
- 5. Benefits of a Strong Utility • Internal Processes take priority • Vendors are told what is needed • Optimum Resources Use • Data strengthens utility as planned • Creative Solutions
- 6. Utility Advanced Metering Transformation Education Info Gathering Business Case Plan RFP/RFQ Creation & Release RFP/RFQ Evaluation & Selection Contract Negotiation Procure Pilot Full Install Future Planning Deploy
- 7. Advanced Metering Balance • Expediential Data Points • Improved Detail • Maintenance • Privacy • Security Plan Procure Deploy Optimize Advanced Metering
- 8. Potential 1/5 – Costly monthly read • Bought without expectation • Not prepared for the added exposure • Operating expense increase • Surprised by system requirements • Examples – Minneapolis phone based reading system
- 9. Overcharge at Tinley Park
- 11. Potential 2/5 – Process Automation • Define process • Note Dependencies • Improve Service and Efficiency • Example: JEA Non-payment shut off

Editor's Notes
- 1) Introduction 2) Share about Fort Worth Advanced Metering 3) Outline the Advanced Metering Process 4) Share examples of Advanced Metering Potential
- SL-serco guides utilities to improve their resiliency. Efficiency - We work with water, electric and gas utilities. We know the cost for water or energy can be tracked by the amount of development and distribution costs. Utilities are not in a volumetric business. They provide service to our communities. The knowledge of volume is a function of how proficient they are in providing energy, water and safe healthy environments to the community. The difference between what is pumped into the system and what is used is both causing damage or it is creating an unequal billing situation for the community. We help utilities correct both of these issues. A map of some of the utilities we have helped are on the screen. Our office is in Minnesota with people working in eight states. Last year we worked with utilities in 37 states. One of those clients is Fort Worth, Texas.
- Study showed a 37.5% Internal Rate of Return with just under a 7 year payback for the investment with much of the benefit resting on water loss in the system. Many other benefits were identified as well. Internal team developed solution Articulated the need and submitted a SWIFT funding package Planning and procuring all the needed parts of the system currently to start the proof of concept near the end of the year
- Our 3 phased approach to what we call Concept to Design (maybe a new word?) Briefly go through points here (will go in depth on each phase upcoming)
- Clifford Chan, Manager at East Bay MUD, you can not improve what you do not measure
- Miami-Dade - Delaney Reynolds, High School Student made largest impact. Think about who the messenger is for message
