In this episode of The Water Online Show, host Travis Kennedy delves into one of the most transformative shifts in the water sector: the digital evolution of metering and data-driven utility management. Joined by Badger Meter’s Matt Stephenson and Erica Hermann, the discussion explores how utilities are turning advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) into a foundation for smarter, more connected operations. From tackling data overload and workforce challenges to leveraging artificial intelligence with caution and purpose, this conversation offers a front-row view into how innovation is redefining water management. Discover how utilities can turn data into stories, efficiency, and long-term sustainability—all while preparing for the next era of intelligent infrastructure.
