Item Summary:
The City is in the process of expanding our automated meter reading (AMR) system to remotely read water meters.
Manual meter reading is a resource intensive and time-consuming task. As the number of water accounts increase,
the City can choose to increase manpower, change reading intervals, or adopt new technology. As the City grows,
the demand on monthly meter reading and accuracy will increase. The benefits of this program will ultimately allow s
customers to obtain real-time water usage which will assist in the City's water conservation efforts.

The City has developed an AMR program that is being implemented in phases, enabling us to expand our AMR
system in the City. The initial pilot phase was completed in November 2009, where 300 meters were successfully
installed. In 2010, the City installed approximately 1,800 meters and in 2011 an additional 9,000 meters were
installed. In 2012, the staff installed another 8,400 meters which brings the total number of meters installed to
{
19,500.
In order to expand upon and enhance the current program more expeditiously, the City has budgeted additional
funds from our self-financed utility. This resolution is necessary in order to obtain authorization to purchase an
additional $1,750,000 in meter cost from Master Meter that will be installed over the coming year. This amount will
bring the total installed AMR meters to approximately 30,000. '
