In 2017, the City of Franklin contracted with Utility Metering Solutions (UMS) for the installation of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system for water meters. Advanced metering technology enables the wireless transmission of water meter readings directly to the City of Franklin from regional collectors located on existing water tanks and towers.

This innovative system collects multiple reads per day, allowing for better leak detection, increased billing accuracy and improved customer service.

Advanced metering also supports the City of Franklin's commitment to preserving and protecting the environment.

• Carbon emissions will be greatly reduced by taking meter readers off the road.
• City of Franklin's ability to quickly detect and stop water leaks will be greatly enhanced.
• By providing up-to-date water usage data, customers can improve their efforts to conserve.
