📋 Tender Overview
Project Description : The Town last completed a water meter exchange program between 2003 -2017 which converted the various meters and reading types to one standard Sensus water meter and a Sensus drive by reading system. The expected battery life on a water meter is approximately 20 years. During and after COVID the Sensus meters had an approx. wait time of 50 weeks when placing an order for either a meter or reader. The decision was made to move to a readily available Badger meter with the Itron reading system both being supplied from our local distributer. Currently both the Sensus and Itron systems are being used to read meters. The goal is to systematically change the Sensus meters and readers to the Badger meter and Itron reader over the next 16 -17 years.
