Meters are used to measure the quantity of water <br />produced. The current meters measure the water produced at an accuracy <br />rate of 95-97 percent. Since 2003, the Public Works Agency has been <br />replacing these older meters with Magnetic flow meters that contain no <br />moving parts, do not require servicing, and can measure water at an <br />accuracy of 99 percent. This item is to replace meters at three water- <br />pumping stations that are over 25 years old. Once installed, the new meters <br />will improve the accuracy of water measurement and the operating efficiency <br />of the City's wells. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on April 15, 2008 and bids were <br />solicited.
