Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected May 1, 2026

Linda County Water District is in the middle of a systemwide upgrade from AMR to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), with 70 percent of customer connections already converted and full implementation anticipated within the next five years. The plan ties AMI directly to core objectives in the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan, including real‑time leak detection, water loss reduction, demand management and improved customer usage data. The document does not name a meter/AMI vendor or contract structure, and indicates that AMI deployment, data use, and supporting analytics will continue and expand through at least 2030.This creates room for metering, network, software, analytics, and customer portal vendors, as well as integration and change‑management consultants, to support completion of the rollout, optimization of leak detection programs, and UWUO compliance tracking.

AMI is positioned as a foundation for water waste enforcement, leak detection, and detailed tracking for the state’s Making Conservation a California Way of Life regulation.
