by Tim Moore
Another great win for our Second Sight Systems’ Submetering Services Team, as it has been extremely busy in 2021 with numerous projects delivered across the country.  SSS is proud to announce another win with Pralle Meadows in St. Charles Missouri.  
In a carved out part in the City of St. Charles lies Pralle Meadows Apartments.

This residential project consists of 150 units, where SSS is contracted to install submetering equipment and provide billing services in order to keep a close eye on utility costs.   SSS is ecstatic to have another great win under its belt for our turnkey submetering solutions.

AMI Network Infrastructure Installation is Big for SSS in 2021!

by Tim Moore
Second Sight Systems’ Technical Services Team has been extremely busy over the past 2 years with numerous Network Infrastructure Installation projects supporting utility wide meter upgrade systems–especially with the influx of new AMI Water Meter Projects with smaller utilities. 
network infrastructure, network infrastructure installation, technical services, AMIMany of these projects have come through our great partnership with Eaton and Ferguson Waterworks with SSS providing installation services of Eaton, Mueller, and Master Meter Network Infrastructure consisting of various Base Stations, Gateways, Repeaters, and Routers.
Typically SSS would be involved with the installation of these units onto 100ft+ Water Towers or Communication Towers, where elevations with clear line of site is most important for a properly communicating AMI system.  Because this type of work requires special training along with very extensive safety programs and certifications, such as Comtrain Certification, this places Second Sight Systems in a unique position to offer these specialized services together with our other utility verticals (ie. meter and fiber installations).  Additionally these components may be installed on smaller water tanks, stadium lighting, Tornado Siren Poles, or just typical utility poles.
SSS has been involved in these projects all across the US.  Some of the most recent projects include Colorado, Marshfield, MO, Dalworthington, TX, Swanton, OH, Fort Nutter, WV, Fairfield, OH, with upcoming projects in Nelsonville, OH, Circleville, OH, Booneville, KY and Fairbury, IL.  We are happy to support the meter vendors with a professionalism and great quality service to their utility customers.

by Tim Moore
Second Sight Systems is excited to announce another big win in Q3 of 2021. SSS was awarded another multi-faceted, turnkey utility project for Booneville, KY, through a successful partnership with Ferguson Waterworks.  The City of Booneville, KY is thrilled to be moving forward with upgrading their  existing water meter system to a new AMI system.   This project is expected to have its challenges due to the area’s terrain and ruralness, but SSS is confident of another successful project completion.
Water Meter Audits

Second, SSS will be installing the network infrastructure consisting of Master Meter equipment to support the upgrade of the utility’s water meter system.  These will be installed across several of the city’s water tanks providing an elevated clear line of site.  SSS’s technical services team is excited to be part of another successful Ferguson / Master Meter network infrastructure installation project.
Water Meter Installations
Lastly, SSS will be performing water meter installation / replacements throughout the city of Booneville, KY.   Second Sight Systems is responsible for replacing approximately 1500 existing residential water meters and replacing them with brand new AMI Master Meters.  Work is scheduled to begin in late September 2021, with project completion in late Q4 2021. 
Second Sight Systems is looking forward to having another quality project under their belt completed for Ferguson Waterworks as well as for the great utility customers of the City of Booneville, KY.
