The Water Resources staff make monthly on-site construction visits to the various construction meters installed throughout the City and manually read each meter register for water usage. Replacement of existing and installation of new fire hydrant meters with cellular enabled registers will allow staff the ability to view water usage data on a continuous basis, which will facilitate billing and oversight of water use. Additionally, staff will be able to locate meters at all times if ever lost or stolen through the new GPS feature included.
