Nehawka reviews water‑meter and billing‑software options; estimated cost about $35,000
Summary
Trustees discussed two vendor software options and a hardware upgrade for roughly 51 water meters, with combined software and meter replacement costs estimated at about $35,000. No procurement decision was made; trustees will continue evaluation.
The Village of Nehawka Board of Trustees reviewed proposals and cost estimates on July 10 for a planned upgrade of water meters and billing software that would affect roughly 51 meters.
Trustee Pat Neu said the village must choose between two vendor packages: Clerkbook (out of Iowa) at about $6,900 plus $850 annually, and Power Manager at about $6,300 plus $2,000 annually. Trustees were told the total cost to replace meters and purchase software would run around $35,000. No formal procurement decision or funding appropriation was recorded in the minutes; trustees will continue evaluating options.
During the same agenda the board discussed other operational procurements: Chair Chad Krueger presented high quotes from Midwest Fence for guardrail installation and said he will obtain additional quotes, and the rescue squad reported an equipment repair need for a bad ball joint and a scheduled power-load installation on July 16.
Next steps: trustees will review additional vendor quotes and bring the meter/software procurement back to a future meeting for possible approval and budgeting.
