period. This includes the purchase of the meters, ongoing maintenance, calibrations, and data delivery.
Staff considers the proposed fees to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.

component of the overall project that includes the purchase and installation of temporary meters. This
project will impact the Water Department Operating Budget due to the on-going maintenance and
calibration requirements of the installed meters. These costs will be incorporated into future Water
Department Operating Budgets.

are negligible.
The project is citywide and affects ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
