mchip,

I did not read anything in Karl's post which implies that every water meter needs to be reviewed. But is it not possible that embedded chips might need to be reviewed at water processing plants (controlling/monitoring pH, chlorine levels, etc.), pumping stations and so forth? From a layman's point of view, this would make sense. If there are truly 52,000 potential candidates out there, how do you define Karl's post as hype?

I'm not baiting you -- just trying to get to fact and truth.

Thanks in advance for your response,
Hardrocker

mchip says:
"Hype. Your water meter does not care what year it is, ..."

one wonders then why the American Water Works Association (AWWA) has this guidance report:

AWWA GUIDANCE ON THE YEAR 2000 (Y2K) PROBLEM
awwa.org

they also have these articles on y2k:
'Utilities Tackling Y2K Concerns'
awwa.org

and a whole forum on discussing y2k issues:

mchip: I was talking about systems, not meters. Water utilities not only bill individuals, they collect and clean water, deliver it for home, commercial and industrial use, and then take it away, where they treat it and dispose of it. Note that TAVA has turned instances of factories having problems where the factory waste water joins into the local disposal system.
