Plevna council raises new water-meter installation fee to $175
Summary
The Plevna Town Council voted unanimously to raise the installation fee for new water meters to $175 to cover meter costs after a planned townwide meter replacement; council cited an estimated meter cost of about $169–$170.
The Plevna Town Council voted 4–0 on Oct. 7 to set the installation fee for new water meters at $175, a change the council said will cover the cost of the new meters being deployed in a townwide replacement.
Councilwoman Promise Miller proposed the fee increase, noting the town’s contract will provide roughly six extra meters for inventory. “We should charge $175.00 to cover the cost of the new meter,” Miller said during the meeting. Councilman Jason Oberlander moved the increase and Councilman Kyle Vennes seconded; the motion carried without opposition.
The council recorded the meter unit cost at roughly $169–$170 and noted costs may rise over time. The change applies when a meter is installed for a new building after the town completes its replacement of existing meters. The council did not specify an effective date beyond the motion; follow-up by staff was implied in the discussion.
