At a Westville Town meeting, attendees voted 4‑0 to approve an agreement that lets New Durham Estates purchase individual water meters that meet the town’s specifications and become town property. The motion was made by Albert and seconded by Missus Deal and carried unanimously.

The agreement makes the purchased meters the town’s property, which the town said is necessary "if the town needs to shut somebody off for nonpayment," as Speaker 3 described. Speaker 3 said, "this is actually, I think, a really cool arrangement" because the town can perform billing directly and retain revenue that otherwise might go to a third‑party billing firm. The speaker also explained the town would charge a residential rate rather than a bulk rate under this arrangement.

Officials discussed technical details of the meters and distribution system. Speaker 3 identified the meter type under consideration as a "mach 10" electromagnetic meter and said the town may implement pressure sensors on the distribution system to monitor conditions. The parties noted they will verify meter compatibility and specifications in follow‑up meetings with staff and with Laurie, John Sturgill and others.

The agreement also grants the town the right to enter and make repairs if lines break or if ownership of the park changes in the future. Meeting participants said the meters will be purchased by New Durham Estates but will meet town specs and be the town’s meters once installed.

The motion passed by voice vote, recorded as 4‑0 in favor. There was no discussion recorded about the contract price, a billing start date, or a detailed implementation timeline during the meeting.
