Sutton board discusses state requirement for daily water-meter logs, tables decision on technology and process
Summary
The board discussed a state-required daily water-meter log and weighed options including daily manual reads, a $7,000–$15,000 automated reader, or using a game camera; the board tabled the matter for more information.
Select Board members reviewed a state requirement that would require a daily log of water-meter readings, including weekends and holidays, which would impose daily on-site reads if no remote system is adopted. Meeting notes cite an automated meter-reading program cost estimate of $7,000–$15,000, attributed to Nate at Simon Operation Services. Minutes record a proposal to try a game camera that would photograph the meter daily and allow staff to transcribe readings weekly.
Highway Foreman Shane Heath agreed to coordinate with clerk Clint on camera options; the board voted to table the water-meter reading program until more information is collected.
