American Fork says residential water meters installed and telemetry work nearly complete after $9 million in grants
Summary
Officials said residential meters are effectively installed and the telemetry system funded by about $9 million in grants; staff are auditing remaining meters and reviewing incoming data for accuracy.
Finance Director Anna Montoya told the Council the city moved early on a state-mandated meter program and secured roughly $9 million in grant funding to cover installation and telemetry, meaning the project was not funded through user fees or the general fund. "This was a significant win for the City," Montoya said when summarizing the funding success.
Montoya reported that all residential meters have been installed, with a small number of installations outstanding for project-completion audits. Staff said they are reviewing incoming telemetry and performing data-cleanup and accuracy checks. City Administrator David Bunker and Public Works staff noted the telemetry/billing updates are part of the capital package the fund must absorb moving forward.
Ending: Staff will continue audits of meter reads and telemetry and incorporate meter-related capital costs into the City’s five-year water capital plan; no formal Council action occurred at the work session.
