Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance (2018)
UT1804

352-(&7 '(6&5,37,21 -867,),&$7,21
The Telemetric Water Meter 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
which reduces and eventually eliminates the need for manual reading. Each meter with transponder cost $250 to replace and
the City replaces about 1,500 per year.

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 Endpoint
(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 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 too low due to age.
