Smart Water Meter Project

The City is updating outdated, manually-read water meters to a new, wirelessly-read technology. These smart meters support efficiencies in our water system. We are replacing nearly 12,000 residential meters city-wide. More than 5,000 meters have already been installed on the north side of the city. Throughout late 2023 and 2024, work will continue on the southside of the lake.
