As meters age they <br />ecome less efficient and read less flow resulting in loss revenues. With <br />xtended age, meters can also develop problems with leaking. This <br />roject is a 3-year process to replace all meters city-wide. Staff had nearly <br />,000 hours related to meter activities in 2019. <br />Project revenue or grants that will support the project and the <br />impacts to the operating budget: <br />No grants have been identified at this time. Annual maintenance is not <br />expected to change. <br />Reference to Plan being implemented (i.e., Master Plan): <br />E Justification and Alignment with Program/Sub-Program Goals & Key Performance Indicators: I <br />This project is a critical component of the City's water system and ensures accurate usage and appropriate cost recovery. In addition, <br />improvements in meter technology includes: remote notification of leaks, tampering and out -of -threshold operating conditions. This <br />information can also be made available to customers for real-time monitoring of their own system. Increases in meter intelligence have <br />shown to alert users quicker for faster troubleshooting and repair. Shortening response times can lessen damaged and loss of water <br />from leaks or breaks. Aging meters cause a great occurrence of leaks and faults that will trigger a corresponding response from the <br />Utility. An increase in response requires more staff time to investigate and resolve these inconsistencies. In total, aging meters will <br />increase demands on staff and reduce system cost recovery by accounting for less water than what is actually used. <br />Department Priority Ranking: High Request Number: (Finance Use <br />
