AMI Project
Coming Soon: Water Meters with Data-Driven Benefits
Your water meter is getting an upgrade! The City of Corona Utilities Department is deploying Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) across the community to enhance our water system and provide you with better service.
Benefits
Hourly water usage data
AMI delivers hourly data, allowing you to monitor and manage your water usage with precision.
Save money
Compare your daily water consumption history to make informed decisions about your household water use. See the impacts on your water bill!
Timely leak detection
AMI enables you to quickly detect leaks, saving you money and minimizing water waste. Our system will even notify you when repairs are needed.
Enhanced customer service
Use detailed water usage data to inform customer service inquiries and address concerns.
Convenient online portal
Our online portal at MyAccount.CoronaCA.gov offers hourly water usage information and customized alerts to support your water needs.
Reduced environmental impact
AMI eliminates the need for monthly meter reads, cutting down on vehicle emissions.
What To Expect
Installation
Beginning Summer 2025, our trained consultants, Professional Meters, Inc. (PMI), will upgrade water meters and meter box lids throughout the city.
Easily Identified Installers
PMI installers will be easily identifiable by their company vehicles, uniforms, identification badges, and vehicle magnets with the City of Corona seal. Please note that their license plates will be from the state of Montana. Your comfort and safety are important to us during this process.
Short Service Interruption
Your water service will be temporarily turned off for approximately 15 minutes during the meter replacement. We will mail out a postcard several weeks in advance for you to prepare, and PMI installers will knock on your door to attempt to contact you in person on the day of replacement.
Regular Working Hours
PMI will conduct the meter replacements Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated!
Next Steps For Your New Meter
Once you receive meter installation confirmation, visit myaccount.coronaca.gov to view your detailed water usage data.
Data in action! In this customer portal preview, we show how AMI can identify a potential leak due to continuous water usage.
