Colorado Springs Utilities launched installation of smart meters in homes and businesses across its service territory.Â
The program will upgrade electric meters and install new hardware on natural gas and water meters.⯠The first phase is nearly finished, which tested installation of a small number of meters as a pilot project, Utilities said in a release. The program started in 2019 and concludes in 2023 at a total cost of $77.5 million.
Starting in June, more customers will get visits from crews to make the change. These new meters create a secure wireless communications network between Springs Utilities and its customers, the release said. This Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) enables the utility to provide more reliable service and help customers better manage their utility use.
