Department Project Title Project Number
Public Works Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance (2020) UT2003
Project Description
The Telemetric Water Annual Maintenance Program allows the City to continue replacing some of the transponder units and meters
installed 10 years ago. The new transponder units transmit meter information to a mobile receiver or fixed network reducing and
eventually eliminating the need for manual readings. Each meter with a transponder costs $280 to replace and the City replaces
roughly 1,300 per year.

Project Justification
This program allows the City to replace transponder and meter units that were installed at the program's inception in 1992-1993.
The program includes replacement of the Orion Classic Endpoint (CE) water meters with lead-free Smart Endpoints (SE) water
meters for use in fixed network or mobile reading deployments. This program will prevent the unnecessary loss of revenue due to
inaccurate and inadequate metering equipment and helps the department to maintain accountability for the water distribution
system. This program will continue to focus on the replacement of meters that are 10 years old or older to remove the meters that
are wearing out and beginning to read low due to age.
Funding Source: Utility Fund (405).
