TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees Owasso Public Works Authority FROM: Travis Blundell Utility Superintendent SUBJECT: Water Meter Replacement Program Approval in Concept DATE: July 11, 2014 BACKGROUND: Annually, the Public Works staff assesses infrastructure needs of the city. Following a recent review of the water meter equipment, a replacement program is being proposed due to the aging equipment and deficiencies of the water meters. Most studies recommend that residential meters be replaced every ten (10) to fifteen (15) years. The City of Owasso last implemented a Meter Replacement Program in 1998. Water meters are important assets to the City of Owasso. The primary function of a water meter is to measure the amount of water delivered so that customers are billed accurately for water usage. As with any other mechanical device, a water meter is subject to wear and deterioration over time. Current water meters are reaching fourteen years of age. Accurate registering creates a concern for losses of both water and revenue. Therefore, water meter replacement becomes necessary to ensure accurate and quality service. WATER METER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM: Currently, the average water loss is 10 %. However, in the past, Owasso has experienced water losses ranging from 147. to 247o. With increased rates, water losses in this range could cause an annual revenue loss to the OPWA of approximately $420,000 to $720,000. Initiating a water meter replacement program this fiscal year would help to maintain and possibly reduce the current water loss ratio. Other factors, such as water leaks, also contribute to the water loss ratio. The OPWA contracts the meter reading service at a cost of $50,000 per year. Most of the existing meters are read manually but due to the age of the meters, it is becoming more difficult to read them accurately. This is primarily due to the meter lens being faded or scratched. This results in the generation of a work order for an employee to re -read the meter. On average, the Water Division receives 500 work orders per month. Of the 500 work orders, 50% are possible misreads that have to be verified. In addition to the aging meters, the efficiency of the related technical equipment has decreased. Current meter reading equipment has become obsolete, can no longer be repaired due to age and is not compatible with the software utilized by Utility Billing. PROPOSED EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT: Staff is proposing the purchase of AMR (Automated Meter Reading) meters. The AMR meter is designed to obtain remote simultaneous water meter registration. These types of meters can be read using a walk -by hand held or mobile system unit from a vehicle thereby eliminating manual reads. There are a number of municipalities and water districts utilizing automated water meter technology. Broken Arrow, Claremore, Rogers County Rural Water District Number 3, Tulsa, Bartlesville, and Sand Springs are a few examples. The feedback from the contacted cities has been very positive. Owasso has utilized radio read technology for several years; primarily in areas where the meters are spread out and requires extensive walking from meter to meter. During this time, staff has been very pleased with the AMR system and has confidence this system will best meet the needs of the OPWA. There are many advantages with the AMR meter system. The AMR meter system is capable of saving and providing data that can be utilized by Utility Billing in an effort to improve customer service and efficiency. These units provide a rolling 96 days of hourly water consumption data; provide reverse flow detection, number of days with a leak, and days of no water consumption. The number one complaint from customers is high water usage. With this new system, staff will be able to provide a water consumption report to the customer showing when the high usage of water was recorded. In addition, the leak detection data allows Utility Billing to view data usage and determine a possible leak before receiving the customer inquiry of high usage. Another advantage will be accuracy in the billing process. Currently, a meter reader will manually collect the meter reading and provides the information to the Utility Billing Department. The Utility Billing staff manually keys in every read based on the handwritten notes of the meter reader. The new system will eliminate most of the human error factor involved in our current billing process. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION: If approved, the Water Meter Replacement Program would begin this fiscal year and run through FY 2020. The program will consist of replacing over 9,000 meters to the Automated Meter Reading water meter over the next five years. The program will begin in Country Estates due to the number of work orders generated each billing period. Subsequent routes will be added to the program each year until all meters are replaced with the automated system. FUNDING SOURCE: The FY 2015 Water Division budget includes $385,000 to purchase 2,000 Automated Meter Reading water meters in order to begin implementation of this program RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Water Meter Replacement Program
