Department needs to migrate to a modern Customer Information System in order to take advantage of new technologies and capabilities that
leverage the Water Department's Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI)data and system integrations.

projects commence,additional funding needs are identified,and to comply with bond covenants.The actions in the M&C will appropriate funds in
support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program,as follows:
