Commission to install verification meter after disputed readings
Summary
The commission authorized a sub‑$25,000 purchase order for DPC to install a verification meter for about eight weeks to compare local readings with Mattabassett's numbers and resolve a flow-reading discrepancy affecting billing.
The Berlin Water Commission agreed to move forward with a temporary verification meter to resolve a significant discrepancy between the commission’s meter readings and those reported by Mattabassett.
"I just finished this afternoon, creating another purchase order for DPC to go in there for, 8 weeks to put a sec set another meter in there to see if we can see verify the meter that Mattabassett has in there," Ray (Speaker 1) said. Because the expected purchase is under $25,000, staff said it can proceed without taking the contract back to the town council. Data from the DPC meter will be correlated with Mattabassett’s records to determine whether the higher readings are accurate and whether billing allocations need adjustment.
