Utilities staff asked council to approve a staged replacement of electronic meter endpoints (ERCs) that transmit water-meter readings over cellular networks to the city's Tametra cloud-based billing system. Staff proposed a five-year implementation and asked for approval to purchase the first 5,000 units at a cost of $685,000 for year one; staff said the existing endpoints will be sunset in 2035 and that the department expects to replace over 25,000 units over time.
Council approved the phased purchase by roll call and noted the utility will perform in-house installations where possible to reduce costs.
