CONSENT
ITEM #:
TO: City Council
FROM: Marty Powers, Public Works Director
AGENDA ITEM: Water Meter Purchase REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND: Public Works staff continues to supply meters to new construction daily and updates failing water meter throughout the year. As new construction continues and old meters are being replaced, another order of meters, radio reads and supplies is needed. Ordering in bulk will take advantage of quantity discounts and save over $4000 on an order of 504 meters, 600 radio reads and an assortment of other needed meter supplies. Accountability of all water is mandated by the DNR. In 2019, Lake Elmo had a 51% unaccounted water rate. With the use of the new meters, correcting billing issues and working together with the other city departments, we currently have reduced our water loss down below 12%. With Public Works current
efforts and the use of more accurate meters, we will continue to drop this number. This program will continue to reduce lost revenue and water loss, minimizing the possibility of fines levied to the city.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Based on the recommendation of Public Works, should the City Council approve the purchase of 504 water meters, 600 radio reads and meter supplies? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: If approved by City Council the new meters, radio reads and supplies will be used in new construction and to replace failing meters. New meters and radio read devices purchased will remain compatible with the city’s current radio read system.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not to exceed $180,000. (This expense is included in the 2022 Water Utility Budget)
OPTIONS:
• Approve purchase of a bulk meter order
• Deny purchase of bulk meter order.
• Table for further discussion. RECOMMENDATION:
“Motion to recommend the purchase water meters, radio reads and supplies to take advantage of
discount pricing.”
