Cleveland, Texas, modernizes water system with new advanced metering infrastructure
(UI) — The City of Cleveland has completed a major water infrastructure modernization project in partnership with energy solutions provider Ameresco, aimed at improving system efficiency and revenue recovery through the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).
The project, which began in 2024, included replacing outdated or failing meters, retrofitting existing meters with AMI radios, and integrating real-time consumption data into the city’s billing software. A new customer portal now allows residents to track daily water usage and verify billing accuracy.
“This project had a lot more moving parts than we could handle with our normal daily tasks,” said Roger Brooks, Cleveland’s public works director. “Ameresco efficiently executed all aspects of the construction and data integration required.”
The AMI upgrade is expected to recover approximately $6.8 million in water and sewer revenue and generate more than $2.5 million in positive cash flow over the next 15 years, while also reducing the need for manual meter reads, customer service calls, and maintenance-related truck rolls.
Meter accuracy is projected to increase from 90.7% to 98.5%, leading to improved billing precision and operational savings.
