The board voted to continue with the same slate of officers for 2014: Cliff Huff man, president; Karen Singer, vice president; Ken Smith, secretary. SUD is in the process of replacing all its meters to move them to automated meter reading (AMR) technology. With AMR meters, SUD will retrieve cus- tomer meter data via a radio transmitt er system. SUD manager Ben Beavers said almost one-quarter of SUD’s meters were replaced as of Jan. 31. Aging meters typically give false low readings. By replacing aging meters, SUD hopes to see an increase in water sales and a decrease in unaccounted-for water loss (the diff erence between water produced at the plant and water registering in metered sales). To date, SUD has not seen an increase in sales, but Beavers said most of the aging meters and largest meters are located in Sewanee, and the meters there had not yet been replaced. Similarly, unaccounted-for water loss has not decreased. Another possible source of unaccounted-for water loss is supply line leaks. To aid in detecting supply line leaks, SUD is in the process of calibrating its zone meters for AMR to more accurately register the amount of water delivered to the various zones of the district. AMR also aids in detecting leaks on the customer side of the meter. Th e technology reports hourly consumption for the past 40 days, immediately alerting SUD meter readers to an irregularity. Also, a meter that has not stopped running for 24 hours alerts the system that a leak is likely.
