Council debates meter siting, survey PIN requirements and who pays to move meters
Summary
Councilmembers said meter locations will default to survey/PIN locations on file; residents requesting different siting must obtain a survey or pay for a PIN locate. Members discussed meter counts, leftover grant funds and how to apply money to additional meters or equipment.
Council held an extended discussion about how water meters will be sited, the role of survey PINs and who pays if a resident requests the meter be moved.
Councilmember (S5) explained that if a meter location is already on file with the surveyor (BG), the city can rely on that location; if a resident requests relocation they typically must obtain a new survey and pay associated costs. "If you want to move, you gotta get a survey," Councilmember (S4) said, summarizing the council's practical direction.
Members also reviewed meter inventory and project finance: speakers cited roughly 821–830 meters on the current list (up from an initial 600) and discussed using leftover funds from prior project phases to cover additional meters or equipment. Cost estimates for a meter cited in the discussion ranged from about $900 to $1,300 depending on model and installation.
