Summary
The board approved one-time software integration with Southern Software to support automatic AMI meter reading for roughly 1,128 meters; staff said state funds will cover the upgrade.
The board approved a one-time integration with Southern Software to enable AMI meter interrogation and automatic meter reading for the town’s meter system.
Staff member (S3) said the project covers replacement/integration of about 1,128 meters, with an integration fee noted at $5,003.58 and a per‑meter figure discussed in the presentation; staff said funding would come from planned state funds. Committee member (S7) moved to approve Southern Software AMI integration and meter-reading implementation; the board seconded and approved the motion.
Staff said the integration will connect meters to the town’s FMS billing software and that ongoing costs may increase but the bulk of the initial expense is a one‑time integration. The town will apply state funding toward the project and staff will finalize procurement details.
