APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF FLANGED SPACERS TO COMPLETE THE
INSTALLATION OF THE COMMERCIAL WATER METERS
WHEREAS, one of the most important services provided by Public Works is a reliable source
of drinking water for the community; and
WHEREAS, water meters were last replaced in 1996-97 and in 2007-08 the meter readers
were replaced; and
WHEREAS, Council approved Resolution 9767 on June 12, 2023, awarding a contract to
Milbank Winwater Works to facilitate the City water meter replacement project; and
WHEREAS, City Staff is installing the commercial water meters for this project, and it has
been discovered that the larger water meter lay lengths are different from the old water meters and
require flanged spacers to complete the installations; and
WHEREAS, Staff reviewed scenario's to continue with the commercial water meter
replacements:
• Option 1 - Hire a Licensed Plumber to correct the interior plumbing so that the new meter
could be installed at an estimated cost of $15,000.00 to $20,000.00
• Option 2 — Winwater would need to manufacture flanged spacers which would allow the
meters to be installed without any alterations to the service line at a cost of $9.005.00

Drinking Water fund, 700-4823-7030, which includes $1,375,000.00 for the Commercial/Residential
