New law streamlines approval of submeters for use in the state.
After numerous attempts over the last year to modify submetering rules in the state of California, industry players and the office of Assembly Member Tom Daly of the CA 69th District, have successfully drafted California Assembly Bill 2451. The bill was approved by Governor Brown, Chaptered by Secretary of State Debra Bowen, and is now law. This new law should help in streamlining the approval process for water submeters as well as lowering the existing liability placed on those that supply, install and use submeters. The chaptered bill:

An unwelcome sign for electricity users is emerging from the waters of Folsom Lake: the remnants of a Gold Rush mining town 
submerged for almost 60 years has resurfaced amid California’s record dry spell.
Just west of the stone ruins, Folsom Power plant is silent, its six-story-high columns without enough water to propel their turbines. It’s one of dozens of hydroelectric stations shut or running at reduced rates because of the worst drought in the state’s history.

North America and Europe’s smart water meter industry can expect solid growth, according to forecasts by analyst Frost & Sullivan.
The global research company reported that the smart water metering market, including smart water meters, installation services and meter data management services, was valued at US$3.48 billion in 2013.
North America and Europe are seen as key areas of growth as water utilities in both regions are aware of the potential uses of data and analytics.

WASHINGTON – On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will, for the first time, require large emitters of heat-trapping emissions to begin collecting greenhouse gas (GHG) data under a new reporting system. This new program will cover approximately 85 percent of the nation’s GHG emissions and apply to roughly 10,000 facilities.
“This is a major step forward in our effort to address the greenhouse gases polluting our skies,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “For the first time, we begin collecting data from the largest facilities in this country, ones that account for approximately 85 percent of the total U.S. emissions. The American public, and industry itself, will finally gain critically important knowledge and with this information we can determine how best to reduce those emissions.”
EPA’s new reporting system will provide a better understanding of where GHGs are coming from and will guide development of the best possible policies and programs to reduce emissions. The data will also allow businesses to track their own emissions, compare them to similar facilities, and provide assistance in identifying cost effective ways to reduce emissions in the future. This comprehensive, nationwide emissions data will help in the fight against climate change.
