Hialeah, FL – Hialeah has started a pilot program that will test smart water meters designed to improve billing accuracy and identify water leaks more quickly for residents and businesses throughout the city.<\/p>\n
City officials said the program will install between 175 and 225 ultrasonic smart water meters at selected residential and commercial properties. <\/p>\n
The new technology is intended to provide more precise water consumption readings than traditional meters while allowing the city to identify leaks and other system issues earlier.<\/p>\n
The pilot project is expected to run for approximately six months. <\/p>\n
During that time, city staff will evaluate the performance, accuracy and reliability of the meters before deciding whether to expand the technology to more customers across Hialeah.<\/p>\n
The initiative follows ongoing concerns from residents who have questioned the accuracy of water bills and meter readings in recent years. <\/p>\n
City leaders said the pilot is part of a broader effort to improve public confidence in the water billing system and provide customers with more dependable information about their water usage.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Mayor Bryan Calvo ordered a review of the city’s Department of Public Works and Water and Sewer Services, including an audit of billing practices and operations. <\/p>\n
Officials said the smart meter pilot is another step in evaluating potential improvements to the city’s water infrastructure.<\/p>\n
If the program is successful, the technology could eventually be deployed more widely throughout Hialeah. <\/p>\n
In addition to improving billing accuracy, city officials said the meters could help detect leaks sooner, reduce water loss and give customers better insight into their daily water consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hialeah, FL – Hialeah has started a pilot program that will test smart water meters designed to improve…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[25783,4015,187,137466,124657,5892,225,227,226,69182,18446,36361,124659,124661,137465,1576,124660,42468,69048],"class_list":["post-333215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-author","tag-billing","tag-city","tag-city-tests","tag-coming-soon-include-featured-widget","tag-headline","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news","tag-leaks","tag-pilot","tag-pilot-program","tag-seo-title","tag-slug","tag-smart-meter-pilot","tag-technology","tag-thumbnail","tag-title","tag-water-meters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
