The meter system of the present invention allows for automated water utility resource measurements, data collection and exercise of control and notification of fire hydrant water usage and includes: a portable water meter that is releaseably mountable onto a discharge nozzle of the fire hydrant; a flow sensor that senses the water flow rate passing therethrough the portable water meter; a processor that is configured to receive, process, and/or store data from the flow sensor; and a satellite positioning system that is adapted to receive satellite position determining signals. The hydrant meter system further includes a communication device that is adapted to transmit the processed flow signal and the processed positioning signal to a remote server system via a communication medium.
