Core & Main Partners with Connecticut Water Company to Provide Advanced Metering Infrastructure System
Core & Main, Inc. announced it has been selected by Connecticut Water Company (CWC) to provide an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system across its service area.
In partnership with Xylem, Core & Main will deliver a turnkey solution to modernize Connecticut Water Company’s metering infrastructure using Xylem’s Sensus AMI solutions. The deployment includes more than 100,000 Sensus smart meters and endpoints, as well as the communications network, software integration, and installation services.
Anticipated benefits for Connecticut Water customers include the ability to read meters without a field service appointment, allowing for enhanced visibility into water usage, faster detection of leaks to save customers money, and advanced monitoring capabilities for customers to view their usage in real-time.
Core & Main’s solution is built on the Sensus FlexNet® communication network and includes iPERL® water meters, SmartPoint® communication modules, and ally® and Cordonel meters, which also incorporate pressure and temperature data. This technology® delivers secure, two-way data communication and long-term reliability.
The solution includes integration with Connecticut Water Company’s Oracle Customer Cloud Service platform, enabling seamless data exchange across existing billing, customer service and operational systems. Turnkey installation services will be provided by Core & Main’s subcontractor VEPO Solutions to support an efficient deployment with minimal disruption to customers.
The program also incorporates Core & Main’s CORE+ network-as-a-service and software-as-a-service capabilities, under which Core & Main and its partners will manage network operations, maintenance and ongoing system optimization. This approach reduces operational burden, while providing a scalable, future-ready platform to support CWC’s continued system growth and innovation.
