Township notes industrial metering issues and approves $5,000 leak-detection purchase
Summary
Engineers reported potential billing inconsistencies for Neville Chemical and other large users; the board approved purchasing a leak-detection device and training for $5,000 to support water system monitoring.
Township staff reported ongoing metering and billing reviews for large industrial accounts. The engineer said the Neville Chemical Water System (2800 Neville Road) appears to have potential billing inconsistencies and that additional metering and clarification of separate fire services are needed; Township received mapping and flow estimates on Jan. 20, 2025 for further review.
Separately, the board approved Motion 10 to purchase an STS sounding equipment device and half-day training from Aqua-Tech Specialty Service, Inc., in the amount of $5,000 to support leak detection and system monitoring. The motion passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote. The packet also notes meter pit replacements and revised schematics for several industrial accounts (Calgon Carbon, Bradfoote Gear, INEOS Composites) with follow-up actions planned.
Why it matters: Accurate metering affects billing fairness and revenue collection; the leak-detection equipment purchase and ongoing meter audits aim to reduce losses and correct billing bases for large commercial/industrial users.
