Moncton’s Automated Meter Reading System garners positive industry attention

MONCTON – The Atlantic Canada Water Works Association (ACWWA), as well as the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA), have recently recognized the City of Moncton’s automated water meter reading system as a leader in water conservation and environmentally sound practices.

The ACWWA recently awarded the 2008 Project of the Year award to the City of Moncton in the greater than 25,000 (population) category. By remotely reading each meter at least four times per day, Moncton is able to profile water usage and identify high consumption and leakage on the customer side so that customers can be made aware when their consumption is abnormally high. This latest technology is the first RF (radio frequency) Fixed Network system used in Canada.

Health report to get 'low-profile' release

OTTAWA — The Conservative government is planning a quiet release for a major Health Canada report that warns of the harmful impact of climate change on the health of Canadians, particularly the young, elderly and aboriginals.

Should the department follow through with its communications plan, it will be the second time this year that the government has taken such an approach with a major climate-change study.
Those involved with the report were informed in a July 3 conference call that the government is preparing a "low-profile release" on the Health Canada website, rather than launching the report with major media fanfare, sources told The Globe and Mail.
