Yorkshire Water installs Itron water communication module

Yorkshire Water has deployed an Itron water communication module, the company’s one millionth module in the UK and Ireland.

The module has been deployed for Yorkshire Water as part of a contract to deploy automated meter reading (AMR) services for residential and commercial customers.

Yorkshire Water supplies 1.24 billion litres of drinking water each day in the region, while also managing the collection, treatment and distribution of water.

The installation of the one millionth Itron communication module takes the number of customers in the Yorkshire water region with AMR services close to 50%.

Yorkshire Water metering and leakage manager Tony O’Shea said that the company’s solutions and support services have been instrumental in helping increase its operational efficiency and customer service levels.

The Itron deployments are equipped with the newest generation EverBlu AMR module which provides a seamless pathway for utilities to migrate from remote mobile to fixed network reading.

Itron’s enhanced data around consumption, leakage and alarms help utilities to remotely assess the performance of their networks and assets.

Providing valuable information helps promote efficient use of water and leakage reduction alongside customer service improvements in billing and query resolution.

Itron has deployed nearly seven million smart water endpoints in Europe.
