Calgary's Water Meter Upgrade: Modernize Your Usage

0:00Calgary's kicking off a five-year push to upgrade water meters across homes and businesses, swapping old gear for tech that lobs and beams usage data. Smoother. Some folks are scratching their heads since their meters look fresh, but City Rep Michael Van Ham says it's often just new radios getting added. Not. Full swaps. To modernize the whole system. Right now, cruise drive neighborhoods to snag data from old radios, but the upgrade flips that to cloud sins, cutting drive buys and letting you track usage, spot leaks, and pay just for what you use meters typically last 10 to 15 years, but even shiny new looking ones can wear inside from water flow. So the city goes by recorded age to keep things accurate works hitting ward eight neighborhoods from downtown to signal hill and out to door right now. Ward six next month wrapping in ward 11 by 20. 30 clear your path to the shut off valve so crews can roll in easy. Local news powered by AI. This is Calgary News today.
