📋 Tender Overview
Project No. : 402-004
Description : Since 1994, the Water Utility has been aggressively upgrading water meters throughout the city with remote reading equipment. Meters equipped with radio transmitters that can be read without human input are being phased in over a 10-year period ending in 2020. Starting in 2014, all meters containing more than the allowable level of lead will be disposed of when the meter is removed during a change out. There are approximately 5,000 meters that contain more than the allowable amount of lead and will need to be replaced over the next few years. The Water Utility also purchases water meters annually for new construction and for the systematic replacement of aged, damaged, or inaccurate meters based on requirements of the Public Service Commission
