Mueller Systems has been selected by water and wastewater utility American Water to provide water metres and systems to help the utility better manage the delivery and use of water to its customers.

Under the agreement, American Water will receive Mueller Systems’ smart water technology systems, including automated metre reading and the Mi.Net Mueller Infrastructure Network for Utilities.

Mueller Systems vice president and general manager Hassan Ali said, "By combining technology with our expertise in water infrastructure, we enable utilities to improve operational efficiencies and customer service, and to better manage the delivery and use of water."

American Water business services senior vice president John Bigelow said the company’s collaboration with Mueller Systems for its interoperable smart metering solutions is a "natural fit" with its business strategies.
