Metron

Property-level high-frequency water consumption telemetry generated as a byproduct of cellular AMI metering and register retrofits: near-real-time 1-minute interval flow readings, hourly usage series, leak/exception events, and billing-verified consumption totals, surfaced through the WaterScope analytics layer and API. Notably covers the 'final five percent' of properties that incumbent radio-based AMI networks cannot reach — the hard-to-meter tail (basement pits, long setbacks, dense masonry) that is systematically missing from most utility datasets.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular time series — high-frequency (1-minute) interval meter readings delivered via API, with hourly downsampled aggregations; additionally event/exception records and billing-verified consumption totals.
Volume: ~2.6-13 billion meter reads per year (50K-250K cellular endpoints × 525,600 one-minute reads per meter per year), plus hourly downsampled series and exception/leak event logs; a multi-terabyte time-series asset across the deployed lifetime.
Users: No consumer registration — the relevant base is metered endpoints under management, estimated at ~50K-250K (inferred from ~$14M annual revenue and ~200 staff against typical per-endpoint hardware-plus-service economics, with multi-utility North American deployments claimed).
History: 6 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — white paper refreshed June 2025, product marketed on existing North American deployments, and the firm is riding a stated market tailwind in which AMI water-meter endpoints in Europe and North America are expected to double by 2027.
Launched: Water-analytics and utility-data business established roughly 2009-2015; the cellular smart-meter / cellular-register AMI line that produces this dataset is newer, roughly 2020-2023 (inferred from a June 2025 white paper describing it as already deployed across North America, alongside ~200 staff and venture-stage funding implying a decade-plus operating history).
