Metering and Mapping <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities currently - <br /> utilizes an Automated Meter Reading { <br /> (AMR) system that allows ERMU to read <br /> all of its meters using an Encoder Receiver . <br /> Transmitter (ERT). This technology is used <br /> to transmit data directly from utility <br /> meters over a short range so a meter <br /> reading vehicle can collect meter data <br /> without a meter technician physically <br /> inspecting each meter. <br /> As part of the 2015 transfer of electric <br /> service territory, ERMU's Technical `", <br /> Services Department was responsible for <br /> changing out and replacing the existing ,, .. <br /> meters in use. In all, there were 950 <br /> meters that were changed out during the <br /> transfer; a monumental task completed in Vis' <br /> just a few days. In addition to the meterl `- 3 <br /> ' <br /> change out, area mapping needed to be <br /> updated as well. ERMU is currently in the ' , W ` ` -T' <br /> process of updating their territory maps �. <br /> ` <br /> using Geographic Information System .` ,ii <br /> (GIS) software. The electronic mapping ' <br /> will allow for more accurate information, ,; : ° , , } <br /> easier modifications, and Global Positioning _ ;: <br /> System (GPS) capabilities. <br /> Page 10 <br />
