Cost efficient for the company and the rate-payer.
That is the way a new piece of technology is being presented from Enbridge Gas.
The company is going to install automated meter reading devices on all of it’s exsisting and future meters.
Jamie Leblanc is a company spokes-person and tells CHSJ News, no word yet on where the conversion will start.
The new gear will allow the company to read up to 10,000 meters on a single route by driving through a neighbourhood with the equipment mounted on a vehicle.
Enbridge says it will begin converting it’s exsisting meters in October with the complete over-haul of the system to take two years.
