What it means for your project

Capital goes to what you design

With meters on a monthly service agreement, the grant and loan money your client raises can go to the tanks, wells and pipelines you design.

When meters are the holdup

If meters are the piece the budget can't reach, your client can put them on a monthly fee instead of waiting on another funding round.

Data for audits and plans

Your client gets 15-minute readings that refresh every six hours, exportable at any interval for water loss audits, master plans and rate studies.

Your design scope stays yours

We supply the meters, the software and the support behind them. We don't do engineering design, and we won't bid against you for it.

The RM App

See what your client sees

The screens your client works from every day, built on 15-minute readings.

Find the gap. See production next to what's billed, so the water loss audit starts from real numbers.

Pressure, where it counts. Average, low and high pressure sit right next to use, every 15 minutes. Your client gets a text if pressure drops too low.

Tank levels on one screen. Each tank's level, fill or drain rate and thresholds, side by side. A tank out of range stands out right away.

Every pump run. Each run shows as 15-minute production, with pressure alongside and the day's totals up top.

Leaks show up the same day. Each alert shows the leak rate, how much has run this cycle and the likely source.

How it works for your client

  1. 1

    Request a coverage check

    Before anything gets proposed, we look at cellular coverage across your client's service area, so the proposal fits what we find.

  2. 2

    A proposal the board can vote on

    We write the board proposal, with a return-on-investment (ROI) analysis built on the system's own numbers. You see it before the board does.

  3. 3

    Installation

    A local plumbing contractor installs the meters, usually at your client's cost. We coordinate the work, and meters ship ready to report.

  4. 4

    Equipment assurance for the full term

    If a meter or endpoint fails, we ship a replacement and coordinate the swap for the full term. Natural disaster and vandalism aren't covered.

On the ground at Palomar Mountain

“Having this equipment fundamentally changes how we can operate in a profound way that significantly reduces costs and efforts related to monitoring, maintaining, and repairing our water system.”

One open valve, by the numbers

20

Staff hours saved

A search by hand was headed for about 20 staff hours. It took 15 minutes in the field.

12,000

Gallons a day stopped

The meters showed 500 gallons an hour running through a valve someone had left open.

Next day

To catch it

The loss started at 9 at night. RM had flagged it by the next morning.

Palomar Mountain Mutual Water Company is a small California system running its first three connected meters. Starting at 9 one night, those meters picked up a steady 500 gallons an hour. By morning, an RM alert had tipped off the operator that something was wrong. Checking the system by hand would have tied up two people for 8 to 10 hours. Instead, it took a few checks in the app, two phone calls and 15 minutes in the field to find a valve someone had left open.

Questions engineers ask

How is this different from buying meters?

Buying meters means paying for the hardware up front and owning it. With RM Complete, we own the meters and endpoints for the term. Your client pays one monthly fee per meter that covers the hardware, cellular service, software and equipment assurance. If capital comes through later, they can buy out the hardware and keep the software.

Who owns and maintains them?

We own the meters and endpoints for the full term. If one fails for any reason other than natural disaster or vandalism, we ship a replacement and coordinate the swap at no extra charge. The meter box, service line and everything else in the ground stay with your client, as they do today.

Can it sit alongside a grant-funded project?

Yes. RM Complete is a monthly service agreement, so it doesn't draw on the capital your client raises for the project you design. Whether a program counts the monthly fee as an eligible cost is the funder's call, and your client's procurement rules still apply. If a grant does cover meters, your client can buy them outright instead.
