ally is the only water meter in the industry with an integrated 3-state remote ball valve, enabling full open, reduced flow, or full shutoff without a truck roll. Whether addressing service line breaks, non-payment, or emergency conditions, utilities can take immediate, secure action from the office — reducing disruption and improving response time.

Beyond flow measurement, ally includes built-in pressure and temperature sensing to continuously monitor system conditions. Utilities can identify leaks, pressure fluctuations, and temperature risks earlier – supporting non-revenue water reduction and more proactive asset management. When paired with Sensus Pressure Profile analytics, this data helps operators see developing issues sooner and make informed operational decisions.

Designed to operate on the Sensus FlexNet® communication network, ally delivers secure, reliable data across a private, licensed spectrum built specifically for utilities. The result is timely alarms, consistent performance during emergencies, and the confidence that critical information is always prioritized.

From daily operations to disaster response, ally supports resilient, data-driven water management –  helping utilities protect revenue, improve service reliability, and plan with greater certainty.

ally – advancing with you.
