Water Meter Replacement and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) System Installation Project
Infrastructure investment is a core priority for the City. As such, in 2017, the City of Highland Park completed a two-year construction project to replace old water meters and to implement an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system. The City replaced over 6,000 meters and installed approximately 10,000 Meter Interface Units (MIUs) to improve water distribution and water metering service levels. MIUs read the meter remotely. The City continues to install new water meters and associated MIUs to replace old or less efficient water meters.

Project History
The City planned and designed the scope of the project with input from the public. In addition, public hearings were conducted to make zoning amendments for the installation of AMR system antennas. The City contracted with Water Resources Incorporated (WRI) in 2014 to install new water meters and related meter reading equipment including MIUs.
