San Antonio, Texas, June 12, 2006 – Today, in San Antonio, Texas at the 2006 American Water Works Association’s Annual Conference & Exposition (AWWA), Master Meter, a North American leader in wireless RF water meter reading, announced the official launch of its Canadian subsidiary, Master Meter Canada.

“Master Meter has long established itself in the eyes of water utilities in the US as a state-of-the-art manufacturer and water meter management systems integrator.” said Jean-Claude Lauret, Managing Director of Master Meter Canada. “I am particularly proud to lead the Canadian operations of this company and I am absolutely convinced that Canadian public service departments will truly appreciate the arrival of such revolutionary innovative solutions that respond directly to their dynamic needs”.

Master Meter Canada will provide the same top quality services and products for which its parent company, Master Meter, is renowned. Among their leading products include the DIALOG 3G-DS® system, a technological breakthrough in the domain of water meter reading and management, as well as the groundbreaking INTERPRETER® register that easily and quickly adapts to most competitive meter registers without interrupting service. This allows municipalities to optimize their investment and their operations, thanks to wireless RF solutions for a wide range of meters, including Master Meter’s own.

In parallel with its presence at the AWWA Conference, Master Meter is also launching the Canadian version of its web site, complete with convenient metric measurement equivalents. Found at www.mastermeter.ca, this site is the first in the industry to be developed in both French and in English and offers all the information necessary for a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of proposed systems. According to Mr. Lauret, “the investment of a subsidiary legally incorporated in Canada, a bilingual web site and software, as well as participation in numerous industry-specific conferences and expositions throughout Canada in 2006 and 2007, proves that Master Meter is not only serious about its determination to play a predominant role in the Canadian market, but also its desire to establish harmonious relationships within the Canadian industry”.

Master Meter is an American corporation based in Mansfield, Texas. Founded in 1970, the company is well-known for its innovation and constant contribution to the advancement of its industry. Master Meter Canada is managed by Jean-Claude Lauret, with over twenty years of experience in the business.
