[Leica] IMG: Public Utility Modernization

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

For a small town, we seem to be making progress.  Some months ago, I noticed 
that an attachment had been added to my natural gas meter, allowing the 
meter to be read from the street.

In the last couple of days, my power and water meters have been replaced.  
The battery-powered water meter sits in the same hole in the ground, beneath 
a cast iron cover.

The power meter replaced the old meter that had been in service for many 
years.

The power and water meters will tranmit to a pole-mounted receiver which 
will relay the information to the central office via existing fiber optic 
cable.
