FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – Pacific Northern Gas, PNG, has announced that it will be making the switch to automated meter reading for its customers.
After receiving approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission, PNG says it will begin the process of modernizing meter reading for its customers by installing automated meter reading technology at homes and businesses in Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, and Tumbler Ridge.
According to PNG, implementing AMR systems involves attaching a device called an encoder receiver transmitter to your existing meter. It encodes the consumption and transmits the data to remote mobile data collectors using drive-by collection technology.
PNG says AMR meter readings will be conducted monthly to ensure accuracy for each billing period.
