The Las Vegas Valley Water District products

A water meter is the device that measures the volume of water used by a customer. The size and location of the water meter depends upon the type of property it serves. Most of the residential meters for the Las Vegas Valley Water District are located near the front yard or in the front sidewalk. The meter lid will be marked "water" or "LVVWD." The Water District uses Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to get near real-time water usage data from the its 431,000 meters. AMI replaces the need to drive every street to collect data since the system collects it remotely. If AMI detects unusually high water use, customers with accurate contact information will receive a text alert or automated phone call from the LVVWD recommending they inspect their property for a potential leak or malfunction. The notifications will help minimize the potential for unexpectedly high water bills and help customers avoid excessive use charges.
