ORION® Brunswick, GA

From Badger Meter, Inc.
 

 

People are drawn to Glynn County's historic seaport, Brunswick, with its brick streets and historic buildings, and the four Golden Isles, with their beaches and year-round resorts.

Water has played an integral role in Glynn County's history. Water recreation has brought enjoyment and revenue to the area over the years. Water metering, on the other hand, eventually posed a problem for the thriving community and its leaders. In 2004, Glynn County's aging metering system was not standardized, composed of meters of different brands and sizes.

"We had meters in the ground that were 30-years old and not very accurate," said Becky Rowell, assistant county administrator, Glynn County, Georgia. "Our customers did not have one hundred percent trust in their water bills. And we had water that was not being accounted for, which meant lost revenue. We thought it was a good time to make the switch to an automatic meter reading system (AMR)."
