Upcoming - Water Meter Replacement Project

The image explains how Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) works, detailing connections between customer meters, networks, servers, and access portals.

Beginning in late November the water district will being a water meter replacement project funded by EPA and administered by the FDEP State Revolving Fund.  The existing mechanical water meters will be replaced with new ultrasonic meters that have no moving parts.  The life span of the new water meters is 20 years.  This technology is known as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).  The meters have a data logging capacity which allows the customer to obtain daily flow data through their cellular service.  Meters also have the ability to send notices of high flow rates or continuous flow which would indicate a leak on the customer side of the meter.  A contractor will be removing the old meters and installing new ones. That process will take about 30 minutes and you will be notified of the temporary service outage. The target date for completion of the contract will be 2/27/27.  More information will be forthcoming after bids are received in October.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Skip Cook, the project manager via email cook05@comcast.net.
