Like many utilities throughout the United States, we modernized our metering system. This metering upgrade includes advanced meters, which wirelessly send readings and important service information to both our water and electric utilities.
With this change comes benefits: City employees will no longer need to physically visit homes or businesses to read electric or water meters and we can send commands through the network to connect service and perform maintenance.
Project complete!
Full implementation began in July 2023 and the project finished three (3) months ahead of schedule.
- Each customer received an advanced water and electric meter (unless they opted out - residential only).
- The new meters use a securely encrypted network to communicate water and electric usage information to Roseville Electric and Environmental Utilities.
- We automatically receive meter data and important alerts, which allows us to respond faster to service disruptions and customer inquiries.

- For additional information about the advanced meters, visit https://www.itron.com/na.
- We now have near real time information from meters including connects and disconnects, leak alerts, and outage notifications. This means faster resolution for customers on service issues and answering common questions.
- The new meters have positive environmental impacts. They reduce trips for meter reading and other related activities, which help reduce emissions and improve air quality.
- The data provided by the meters help the utilities to run more efficiently.
- In the future, customers can actively monitor water and electric usage online. This meter upgrade will allow you to see how much water and electricity you are using every day.
