Water‑meter replacement begins; city staff say readings, not meters, caused billing discrepancies
Summary
City staff said a water‑meter replacement program is about to begin and that many resident billing complaints stem from transmitter failures and battery issues in the meter‑reading system rather than from the meters themselves.
Commissioner Mike Collins and staff described the city’s ongoing water‑meter replacement program and answered councilors’ questions about water and sewer capital funding.
Collins said the water‑meter changeout program is “well underway”: the city has procured meters and will begin installations in the coming month, with work to create a fixed radio network of receivers so meter readings can be captured without a drive‑by van. “We are going to…put in our network so that we can read the meters,” Collins said.
