Those installations are <br />complete and operational. Staff would like to move forward with the next two phases of <br />meter read installations, such that the entire city is operational by the end of 2013. This <br />will automate the reading process and no longer require someone to walk from house to <br />house to secure meter reads. <br />Costs would continue to be paid from the Water Fund. Estimated cost for the meter <br />devices is about $65,000 for each of the two phases. Staff will install them during the <br />next several months between other work priorities. Seasonal staff may also be trained to <br />install the devices. In 2012 we will install the remote readers in homes south of Main <br />Street. In 2013, the work will shift north of Main in order to complete the balance of the <br />City. <br />Dallas Larson, City Administrator <br />
