Water System Master Plan Capital Improvements Update - Water Meter Replacements
At the April 9, 2012 meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved the Water System Master Plan Update prepared by GHD. This master plan included a capital improvement plan outlining and prioritizing needed repairs, replacements and upgrades.
One of the components of the CIP was the replacement of aging water meters. At the time of the study, over 80% of our water meters were greater than 15 years old. The plan identified an approach to replace the oldest over a three-year period to allow the work to be done "in-house" and then enter a "maintenance phase" with a smaller number replaced each year over the subsequent ten-year period until all meters are renewed.
