St. Louis-based Aclara and Atlanta-based SUEZ North America announced an exclusive partnership to provide U.S. Municipalities with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart infrastructure solutions (SIS).

"We look forward to helping SUEZ provide their customers with the expertise and technology they need to meet their local requirements. Aclara's advanced smart infrastructure solutions will offer SUEZ’s customers new ways to reduce costs and conserve resources," said Allan Connolly, president and CEO of Aclara, in a statement.

Aclara AMI and SIS technologies will be offered as part of the SUEZ portfolio, which currently includes solutions in water resource and asset management, water quality in distribution systems and water conservation.
