When Systems Fail, It Reflects on You.

As a municipal water leader, every decision you make affects your entire community.

Staff depend on reliable systems. Council scrutinizes your investments. Constituents experience the impact every day.

But when billing issues surface, complaints rise, or vendor support falls short, the pressure lands squarely on your shoulders.

That’s not just operational friction—that’s your credibility on the line.

And the systems your community depends on should be as reliable as you are.

  • "We have been customers of Blue-Water Solutions (formerly SLC Meters) for several years. We purchase Badger meters from them and have had a good experience with their products. Blue Water Solutions always seems to be looking forward to what new products are available that could benefit their customers. I appreciate this, as I do not always know when something new is designed that would make our crews more efficient. Customer service is really where they stand out. In the event that we have an issue with an older meter, our sales representative, Aaron Bennett, has always been there to help resolve the issue. I highly recommend you call Blue Water Solutions for your metering needs."

    Tim Brandys, Village of Paw Paw Director of Public Services

  • “With over 30 years of public sector work it has been my pleasure to work with Blue-Water Solutions (Formerly SLC Meter) for all things water related, their exceptional staff and service has given the organizations I have worked for the tools and materials needed to operate and address issues as cost effectively as possible!

    As our industry evolves, I am excited to see the company do the same!

    Blue-Water Solutions brings technology and innovative ideas to a new level for the water and wastewater industry, the same professional attitude and legendary customer service established long ago remains as the backbone of the company and the team is always available to assist you in anyway with finding the right solution for you and your organization.

    They certainly have for mine!

    David McKee, Independence Township Public Works Director

  • “With the assistance of Blue-Water Solutions, the City of West Branch completed a City-wide replacement of our water meters. Ryan and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and available to help at any time through the entire process which made the entire project a positive experience. Their products have made our whole billing process run much more smoothly and efficiently. They continue to be there for any issues or questions that arise, and we truly value our partnership with them. I would highly recommend Blue-Water Solutions to any community looking to improve their water system services.”

    John Dantzer, West Branch City Manager

  • “Ryan from Blue-Water Solutions (previously SLC Meter) has helped out the City of Monroe tremendously with our transition in meter reading technology from a nutating disk meter with radio read system to a Badger Meter ultrasonic real time cellular online reading solution.  The system solution was trialed extensively with our most difficult installations and passed with outstanding results such that we moved to an 8 year full meter conversion program.  The program is almost complete and has helped with locating customer leaks, helping with finding unaccounted for water, etc.  Blue-Water Solutions has been an excellent partner with our meter reading needs including testing and consultation.  I fully recommend them for meter reading system needs.”

    Barry LaRoy, City of Monroe Director of Water & Wastewater Utilities

  • If you’re seeing increased billing disputes, higher complaint volume, inconsistent reads, or limited visibility into system performance, it’s likely your infrastructure is holding you back. Modern systems provide real-time insight, greater accuracy, and fewer service disruptions—reducing both operational strain and leadership pressure.

  • Billing complaints are often symptoms of outdated meters, inconsistent data, or delayed service response. Improving accuracy and responsiveness not only reduces friction but also restores confidence with staff, council, and constituents. The right systems make your leadership defensible.

  • Phased implementation. The strongest system upgrades don’t require overnight overhauls. A strategic rollout allows your team to test, validate, and transition smoothly—minimizing disruption while improving performance.

  • Next-generation monitoring technology provides real-time data and automated alerts, helping you detect issues before they escalate. The goal isn’t just compliance, it’s clarity and proactive control.

  • Look beyond equipment. You need:

    • Proven performance

    • Responsive service

    • Long-term support

    • Accountability

    When systems impact entire communities, you need a partner who owns the outcome—not just the sale.

  • Data and proof matter. Modern systems offer measurable improvements in efficiency, reduced loss, improved accuracy, and better customer satisfaction. When you can demonstrate operational gains and cost offsets, the decision becomes easier to defend.

  • Improved data visibility and reliable service reduce surprises. When you have real-time insight and responsive support, you spend less time reacting, and more time leading.

  • Advanced metering and monitoring provide:

    • Real-time usage data

    • Leak detection insights

    • Consumption trends

    • Operational performance metrics

    With better information, your decisions become clearer and more defensible.

  • Long-term success depends on support. Ongoing service, phased implementation, training, and accountability are what turn equipment into leadership confidence.

  • Many municipalities begin seeing measurable improvements in accuracy, complaint reduction, and operational efficiency shortly after implementation begins, especially when upgrades are paired with clear rollout planning.
