HOUSTON GOES WITH ITRON FOR AUTOMATIC METER READING

SPOKANE, Wash.-Itron Inc. was selected by the city of Houston to provide an automatic meter-reading system for the city. Itron said it is the second-largest AMR installation in the United States.

The installation includes about 400,000 Itron ERT radio-based water- meter modules. The ERTs will be read by a collection device mounted in a vehicle.

The contract is pending final approval by the Houston City Council. Itron values the contract at about $25 million.
