Water Meter Replacements Continue In Century
March 17, 2011
Work is progressing as Century continues the installation process on 1,000 new automated water meters in an effort to eliminate billing problems and increase revenue.
Each customer’s existing meter will be changed out for one of the new automated meters. The process is expected to last six weeks or more. According to Mayor Freddie McCall, the meters are currently being swapped at the rate of about 45 to 50 per day.
The $137,386 purchase will pay for itself in less than two years, according to estimates by Dan Devane, regional sales manager for Datamatic, Ltd. He estimated the town would realize an additional $83,125 in additional billings per year due to increased meter efficiency and about $2,200 per year in labor savings.
