Summary

The board approved buying 20 one-inch AMR-compatible meters ($11,000) and four two-inch meters ($13,000) to replenish inventory, plus a $47,740 AMR software upgrade to replace Windows‑10-based software that is failing.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved purchases on Sept. 11 to restore meter inventory and upgrade the city's automatic meter reading (AMR) software.

Utility Director Darryl Green told the board inventory of meters bought last September is nearly depleted and recommended purchasing twenty 1‑inch meters for $11,000 and four 2‑inch meters for $13,000; he also said a few existing 2‑inch meters are not registering and need replacement. Green said the AMR system's software, originally installed in 2019, depended on Windows 10 and is now problematic; staff recommended a web‑based software upgrade priced at $47,740.00 that would allow reads from multiple computers.

Ald. Keith Smith moved to approve the meter purchases and the AMR software upgrade; motions were seconded and carried. The AMR upgrade is expected to resolve data collection issues caused by compatibility with newer operating systems.
