Capital improvement for Drinking Water
RADIO READ METERS
In 2021 the board of directors approved a project to replace our aging manual read meters with radio read, drive by meters. These meters are from Kamstrup a very reputable meter manufacturer. They will read very low flow down to 0.015 GPM and will track any leaks or bursts on the customers side of the meter. Overall, this will help us account for all our water gong through the meter and help on water savings and accountability. We have now over 500 out of 900 meters installed in the district. We should have this project completed by the end of 2025.
Capital improvement projects like this one that keep our system up to date and functioning for the future are funded by previously collected reserves and capital improvement funds that have been set aside for larger projects. They do not have any bearing on current or future rates.
