Council approves 90‑day AMI meter pilot with Stateline Waterworks
Summary
After a presentation by Stateline Waterworks, the council approved a 90‑day, 10‑meter trial for $2,500 to test cellular AMI meters and software integration; the company emphasized meter accuracy, long warranties and billing integration.
The council voted to proceed with a 90‑day pilot of Stateline Waterworks' automatic metering infrastructure, approving a 10‑meter trial offered at $2,500. Sean Siebert (speaker 9), the Stateline representative, described the meters as having no moving parts, continuous communications options (cellular, drive‑by or backup solar), and billing integration so reads and alarms can feed directly into office software.
Siebert emphasized accuracy and warranties: "Our meters are industry leading accurate. They start at 1.01 gallon per minute low float," and he described warranty terms and cellular connectivity that permit 15 to 20 years of coverage when bundled. Council members asked about funding and grants; staff noted the Florida Rural Water Association grant application process as one potential funding avenue. Vice Mayor Robert F. Ringland (speaker 8) moved to pilot the 10‑meter trial and Councilwoman Lenny Richardson (speaker 4) seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
