Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that Yorkshire Water Services (YWS), a
private utility for water and waste-water services in the United
Kingdom, has entered into a new contract with Itron for the supply
of Itron’s advanced water meters for both residential and
commercial customers.
Yorkshire Water currently manages the treatment and distribution
of water in West Yorkshire, supplying more than 1.2 billion liters
of drinking water each day. The contract includes the supply of up
to 500,000 high-end water meters equipped with radio communication
modules to the Yorkshire, UK region over the next five years.
Leveraging accurate data around consumption, reliable leakage
notifications and advanced alarm options, Itron’s water solution
will help YWS assess the performance of its network and assets
through reliable communication pathways. The YWS operations team
will be able to bill the end users for their actual consumption and
this gained visibility will further empower end-customers to foster
more conscious water habits, make informed decisions and ultimately
save money.
“Following a rigorous tender process, Itron’s proven expertise,
innovative technology and competitiveness resulted in them being
awarded the contract. This allows us to build on our asset base of
over 1 million Itron meters and AMR units,” said Tony O'Shea,
leakage and metering manager at Yorkshire Water. “We foresee
tangible benefits from continuing to implement Itron’s advanced
metering technology, including controlling costs to customers,
creating operational efficiencies and enhancing customer service by
expanding the use of meaningful data.”
“Itron is delighted to work alongside Yorkshire Water in
ensuring the successful delivery of this project,” said Mathias
Martin, Itron vice president of sales, EMEA. “The utility and its
end-customers will benefit from Itron’s technology with access to
timely information for better water resource management.”
