Water Industry’s Only Test Bench & M3 Enterprise Software Solution Fully AWWA

OCALA, Fla., June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has published the Sixth Edition of its influential Manual M6: Water Meters—Selection, Installation, Testing, and Maintenance, featuring some of the most significant meter testing updates in over ten years. MARS Company, a global leader in precision water meter testing and technology solutions, remains the industry’s only water meter testing solution fully compliant with the (ANSI)/(AWWA) industry standards.

This new edition of the manual places greater emphasis on testing accuracy, repeatability, and test duration requirements, particularly for ultrasonic and electromagnetic meters covered by ANSI/AWWA C715. These changes will significantly affect the equipment and capabilities required for compliant meter testing programs.

As a result, utilities, municipalities, and meter service providers should assess their testing infrastructure to ensure ongoing compliance with these updated standards.

MARS Company is not only the water meter test equipment and software company that fully complies with all recommendations of the new M6 Manual, but also the only company that certifies a compliant system to meet AWWA C715 requirements for the latest generation of ultrasonic meters.

“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,” said Dave Corey, CEO of MARS Company. “Our customers count on us to keep them ahead of these standards, not scrambling to meet them. Being the only solution that fully complies with the updated ANSI/AWWA requirements isn’t just a milestone for MARS—it’s our assurance to every utility we serve that their testing will remain accurate, defensible, and compliant for years to come.”

MARS Company will exhibit at the AWWA ACE 26 Trade Show in Washington, D.C., from June 22 to 24, 2026, at booth #1929.
