Water Authority to Launch AMI Pilot Project

The Water Authority – Cayman is pleased to announce that it will launch an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Pilot Project in February 2026.

The AMI Pilot Project is an important step toward modernising the Authority’s water management systems and improving customer service. The project will evaluate two advanced smart metering technologies and assess the feasibility of remote meter reading under local conditions.

The results will guide future decisions about full-scale AMI deployment across the island. In the future, AMI technology will provide customer benefits such as faster leak detection and on-demand usage insights. 

The Authority is currently finalising the project’s logistics—including technical setup and installation planning—and will share more details in the coming weeks. Customers selected to participate in the pilot will be contacted directly.

“Our investment in this pilot marks a significant step forward in providing enhanced services to our customers,” says Dr Gelia Frederick van-Genderen, Director of the Water Authority. “By embracing advanced metering infrastructure, we aim to improve operational efficiency, strengthen system reliability, and deliver even better value to the people we serve.”
