Committee records meter replacement payment and purchase of smart couplers for Council approval
Summary
Staff listed a payment of $10,406 to Calumet City Plumbing and a purchase of 126 touch couplers for $19,782 to enable new meters to work with an AMI system; motions were recorded for City Council approval because the committee lacked a quorum.
Public Works Director Joe Smith reported the City is making the final payment under its water meter replacement program and listed Motion to approve payment No. 15 to Calumet City Plumbing for $10,406.00. Smith also displayed touch-coupler smart point samples and said most couplers are located outside homes; the City plans to replace 126 older couplers to ensure compatibility with future AMI equipment.
Because the committee did not have a quorum, members did not vote on the listed motions; Chairman Brennan indicated he will present the committee's recommendations at the Feb. 3 City Council meeting for formal approval. The coupler purchase and final meter payment are budgeted line items and part of the broader meter modernization work described elsewhere in the agenda.
