- Water Meter Handout No. 3 Jan 31, 2012 — 2/1/2012
City officials participated in a meeting last week with representatives of HD Supply and Sensus, the contract vendor and manufacturer of the City’s recently installed water meters, respectively. The parties agreed to implement a plan whereby HD Supply would work with the City’s public works staff to identify a random selection of water meters throughout the City for purposes shipping the meters to the manufacturer for testing. The purpose of the testing is to determine the extent of the meter inaccuracies as well as identify the potential cause of the inaccuracies to the extent deficiencies in the water meter system exist. Both HD Supply and the City will also be providing Sensus with product and use information to assist in their analysis of the meters. City officials made it abundantly clear to representatives of both HD Supply and Sensus that the number one goal of the City is to restore the integrity of the water meter system as quickly as possible.
Any future developments relating to the City’s water meter system will be addressed in handouts available at City Hall and posted on the City’s web site.
All information and/or inquiries regarding the City’s water metering system should be directed to Chuck Whiting, City Administrator at 507-333-0355 or Lorri Smith, Deputy City Clerk at 507-333-0353.
- Water Meter Handout No. 1 – January 10, 2012 — 1/10/2012
The City of Faribault has become aware of issues related to the accuracy of a number of the City’s water meters installed as part of the 2009-2010 Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) project. While the City is in the process of identifying the extent of the problem and formulating a solution to verify and maintain the integrity of the City’s water metering system, City staff does not yet have sufficient information at this time to specifically identify the cause of the problem or to recommend a definitive solution to the City Council. The City is attempting to move as quickly as possible to develop a solution with regard to this matter.
Any future developments relating to the City’s water metering system will be addressed in handouts available at City Hall and posted on the City’s web site.
