Water Meter Handout No. 2 - January 24, 2012
1/24/2012
At a meeting of the Joint Committee of the City Council on January 17, 2012, City Administrator Chuck Whiting provided committee members with a Water Meter Assessment and Corrective Action Plan (“Plan”). The Plan outlines various tasks to be undertaken by City staff for purposes of identifying the scope and extent of the water meter inaccuracies, preserving and pursuing the City’s options to correct any and all deficiencies in the City’s water meter system as well as reviewing City policies and/or practices pending remediation of the alleged deficiencies. In particular, staff is exercising the City’s rights with regard to all guarantees and/or warranties obtained by the City as part of the 2009-2010 Automatic Meter Reading project from both the contractor and manufacturer of the recently installed water meters. The City anticipates that the Plan may change or be supplemented as additional information is obtained and/or as more definitive plans for corrective action are developed.
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.
