Water Meter Replacement Project <br /> B.5. <br /> Purpose: <br /> This project is needed to address the current and future metering needs for the City of <br /> Cortez. This project will bring our system into the future with a more stream lined billing <br /> system, data management and conservation by providing our customers with accurate <br /> consumption information. <br /> Need: <br /> The existing system is comprised of manual read meters, approximately 3400, that are <br /> old, age 25-40 years, inaccurate and failing to capture our customer's usage. The smart <br /> meter technology will provide data storage and the ability to proactively manage our <br /> distribution system. This investment will provide 20 years or more of accurate billing and <br /> tracking. Incorporating a meter change out program over the course of the effective life <br /> span will keep our system in this state. <br /> Facilities: <br /> This program will replace all existing meters within our service area, residential and <br /> commercial accounts. <br />
