A water quality monitoring computer system for a water distribution network includes a water distribution network configured to receive water from one or more network sources and distribute the water through the water distribution network to one or more network end points, at least one water quality monitor configured to generate water quality data for a distribution zone of the water quality network that includes a zone water source and one or more zone endpoints, which includes network end points downstream from the zone source, and a zone end point meter associated with each of the zone end points, wherein the zone end point meter monitors water flow exiting the distribution zone. At least two of the end point water meters include one or more water quality sensors and at least two of the end point water meters include different water quality sensor types, and the one water quality monitor aggregates water quality sensor data transmitted from the zone end point water meters to generate the distribution zone water quality data.

Apparatus and method for measuring water quality in a water distribution system

A method and system by which certain radio transmitters are assigned to certain reception nodes for the purpose of transmitting metering data derived from a plurality of utility meters to a system management computer. The reception nodes are configured to receive and process data transmissions only from those transmitters with data paths assigned to particular reception nodes, and to ignore data transmissions from non-listed transmitters, thereby assuring that on a continuous basis, a majority of the transmitters will utilize only one data path. Lists may be formed for the transmitters and reception nodes in the system management computer and transmitted to the reception nodes. The status of data transmissions through the repeaters may also be uploaded to the system management computer for analysis of data update rates and data path redundancy.
