Ferguson Waterworks announced on LinkedIn that Newport News Waterworks recently received the Sustainable Water Utility Management Award from the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies. As part of Ferguson’s efforts to partner with utilities that are embracing sustainable efforts, the company worked with Newport News Waterworks to undertake one of the largest smart metering overhauls in the country. Together, Ferguson and the utility are implementing approximately 130,000 smart water meters to help conserve water, provide more accurate billing information, decrease leak response time and reduce the municipality’s carbon footprint.
