Number of Residential Drinking Water Meter Replacements
On Track
Why This Measure Matters
We rely on residential water meters to inform our water and sanitary sewer rates, but their accuracy declines over time. Proactively replacing older meters helps support a fair and sustainable rate schedule.
What’s the Story?
Since launching the program in 2020 within our operations budget, we’ve made steady progress—hiring a Maintenance Worker I, reaching our 2021 water meter replacement goal, rebuilding in 2022 by refilling a vacant Maintenance Worker I position, and resuming meter replacements based on age and functionality.
