Department Project Title Project Number
Public Works Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance (2021) UT2103
Project Description
The City's network of water meters is comprised of a mix of older mechanical displacement meters, along with newer ultrasonic
meters. In addition to the meters themselves, each service location also includes a register and transponder, which make up the
reading/communications piece of the water service equipment. The Telemetric Water Annual Maintenance Program allows the City
to replace system components to improve available usage data, reading capability, and reading accuracy.

Project Justification
This program allows the City to replace transponders, registers and meter units that were installed since the program's inception in
1992-1993. Replacing older analog registers in conjunction with updated transponders will provide options for more detailed usage
information for residential customers. Replacement of older displacement meters, particularly for 2" or larger service (typically
commercial use) meters will improve reading accuracy of higher water consumers, reducing unbilled water usage and lost revenue.
This program will prevent the unnecessary loss of revenue due to inaccurate and inadequate metering and reading equipment and
helps the department to maintain accountability for the water distribution system.
Funding Source: Utility Fund (410).
