MARS Company Achieves Full Compliance with New ANSI/AWWA M6 Standards for Water Meter Testing

MARS Company Ensures Compliance with Updated Water Meter Testing Standards

MARS Company, a renowned leader in precision water meter testing, has recently made headlines by announcing its complete compliance with the latest ANSI/AWWA M6 standards for water meter testing. This new compliance comes in the wake of the release of the American Water Works Association's (AWWA) Sixth Edition of its influential Manual M6, which details crucial updates that affect the water meter industry significantly.

Importance of the New ANSI/AWWA M6 Manual

Published as the Sixth Edition, this manual contains some of the most significant changes for water meter testing in over a decade. One of the key highlights of the new edition is its increased focus on testing accuracy, repeatability, and extended test duration requirements. These changes apply particularly to ultrasonic and electromagnetic water meters outlined in ANSI/AWWA C715, which sets the standards for such testing practices.

As a result, utilities, municipalities, and meter service providers must evaluate and possibly upgrade their testing infrastructure to align with the updated standards. This need for compliance is crucial as it ensures that water service providers maintain accurate and defensible testing procedures.

MARS Company's Unique Position

MARS Company prides itself on being the only manufacturer in the water meter testing industry that meets all recommendations outlined in the new M6 Manual. Moreover, it has achieved certification for a compliant system that fulfills AWWA C715 requirements, specifically tailored for the latest generation of ultrasonic meters.

Dave Corey, CEO of MARS Company, has emphasized the importance of these compliance measures: "The Sixth Edition of the M6 Manual introduces significant changes to water meter testing, and utilities are right to ask what it means for their programs. Our customers depend on us to keep them ahead of these standards, ensuring they are not scrambling to meet requirements."

This commitment not only showcases MARS Company's dedication to compliance but also solidifies its role as a trusted partner for utilities that rely on accurate water meter testing methodologies.

Upcoming Exhibition at AWWA ACE 26

To further showcase its commitment to innovation in water meter technology, MARS Company will participate in the AWWA ACE 26 Trade Show in Washington, D.C., from June 22 to 24, 2026. The company will be at booth #1929, where it will display its cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance the water meter testing process.
