Solar cell at Sandy Bruce Park monitors water

Toronto Hydro has installed a wireless and solar-operated Data Collection Centre in Sandy Bruce Park on Moore Avenue at the top of Pottery Road. The DCC contains a cell phone which receives data on water usage from the smart metre in your basement and then re-sends it to Toronto Hydro. The DCC on Moore Ave collects data from homes all over South Bayview to a radius of approximately 2 kilometres of its location. There are some 300 such DCC in Toronto and this is  said to be the only community in Canada using this wireless method of delivery for water data.
