Council reviews Simply SCADA quote, faces possible meter replacements estimated at $43,000
Summary
Councilman Ellis presented a $20,000 Simply SCADA quote with a 90-day guarantee and $400 monthly fee; staff said large meters must be validated rather than calibrated and six may require replacement at an estimated $43,000, with $100,000 budgeted for replacements.
Councilman Ellis told the work session that the town has received a $20,000 proposal from Simply SCADA for system setup and monitoring, which includes a 90-day guarantee and an estimated $400 monthly fee. Ellis said he was "confident in the system benefits" and suggested a trial.
Staff discussed meter issues: experts advised that the large water meters cannot be calibrated and must instead undergo validation testing; if validation fails, replacement of six meters would be required at an estimated $43,000 plus the cost of any missing meter. Mayor Rok noted the town budgeted $100,000 for replacements and asked that the Simply SCADA quote be shared with council members.
