Case Study: Limestone County Water and Sewer Authority improves water visibility and response with Badger Meter BlueEdge

Limestone County Water and Sewer Authority restores service in a day with Badger Meter

Limestone County Water and Sewer Authority, a rural water utility in Alabama, faced a failing advanced metering infrastructure system and a lack of visibility into its water distribution network. The utility partnered with Badger Meter to implement a new solution based on the vendor's BlueEdge suite of technologies, including ORION Cellular endpoints, E-Series ultrasonic meters, and the BEACON SaaS platform.

The solution from Badger Meter provided the utility with real-time data and monitoring capabilities, which proved invaluable during a record cold snap. The system identified significant leaks and demand spikes, allowing for a targeted and efficient response. LCWSA recovered its system in a single day, compared to weeks for neighboring utilities, and used the data to improve customer communication, manage water quality, and proactively address main breaks.
