Learn how the City of Bryant streamlined billing and reduced customer issues with Metron’s reliable cellular water monitoring.

The City of Bryant had a problem. The water metering and monitoring system they were using was proving to be inaccurate and unreliable, which was impacting their ability to bill and creating customer issues. To make matters worse, their provider was not willing or able to help them correct the problem.

Join The City of Bryant and Metron to learn how the City of Bryant identified their specific issues, evaluated the available technology, and quickly implemented a solution that not only resolved these issues, but dramatically improved their overall billing process. All attendees will receive four (4) SWRCB Continuing Education Credits.
