<br />e <br /> <br />Estimated Consumption Option <br /> <br />November 7, 2000 <br /> <br />Name <br />Address <br />ArdenHills,MN 55112 <br /> <br />RE: Water Meter Replacement <br /> <br />Dear: <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills has been upgrading Dr replacing all of the residential water <br />meters with radio read type meters, to replace equipment at the end of its usable life. <br />The new meters are more accurate than the older equipment and will reduce the amount <br />of time spent reading and processing utility bills. This project which began in November <br />1999, is now nearly completed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City ordinance requires that water users allow the City access to the meter inside the <br />home, The installation contractor (USI) has attcmpted to contact you by mail, phone and <br />door knocks to schedule an appointment for the meter upgrade or replacement. <br />Unfortunatcly they have not been able to do so. <br /> <br />Since the City will no longer be reading meters manually, the City Council has approved <br />a policy whereby those residents whose meters are not radio read will have estimated <br />water bills until their meters are upgraded Dr replaced. <br /> <br />To avoid an estimated bill, please contact as soon as possible <br />to schedule a meter upgrade or replacement. Meters less than 10 years old will be <br />upgraded with radio read heads. Meters older than 10 years will be replaced. Installers <br />will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your schedule. The installation <br />usually takes about one half-hoUl'. <br /> <br />We realize that some residents have been unable to contact USI due to illness, travel, <br />vacation, etc" but the City is anxious to complete this project as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Pleasc contact me at (651) 633-5676 if you wish to discuss your individual situation. <br /> <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dwayne Stafford <br />Public Works Director <br />
