AMR Helps Drive a Small, Growing Illinois Water Network

By Osvaldo Zambrano

Located in the State of Illinois, Exeter-Merritt Water Cooperative delivers safe and high-quality drinking water to approximately 300 residents in the counties of Scott and Morgan. In 2011, the cooperative decided to do a phase 3 expansion and include additional homes in the rural area, resulting in connections increasing from 154 to 325. Exeter and Merritt are small rural towns built on hilly terrains and gravel roads, with most of the meters installed in the countryside.
