City replays recorded notice about smart water meter installation and resident instructions
Summary
A recorded city announcement played at the Plainview City Council meeting outlined the city's smart water meter (AMI) conversion and provided installation hours, resident instructions and contact information.
During the meeting the council played a recorded announcement about the city's advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) water‑meter conversion. The recording said contractors Ameresco and Pedal Valve Incorporated (named in the announcement) would install new smart meters, replacing existing residential and commercial meters.
The recorded script said meter installation is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with some Saturday work if needed; contractors will leave a door hanger confirming installation and whether the home's lines were flushed. The announcement advised residents to avoid using water for about 30 minutes during installation and, if lines are not flushed on site due to access limits, provided instructions to residents for flushing (run a cold bathtub or outdoor faucet for about one minute and do not run hot water to avoid disturbing the hot water heater).
The announcement gave a project contact (city phone and email watermeterproject@plainviewtx.org) and directed residents to plainviewtx.org for more information. It also said contractors will be identifiable by logos on uniforms and vehicles. The recording repeated that the project began in January 2024 and thanked residents for their cooperation.
No council action was taken on the announcement; it was presented as an informational notice to residents.
