FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Badger Meter, Inc. for magnetic flow meters in the
amount of $29,893.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division operates 21 water wells
and various water pumping stations that provide approximately 70 percent of
the City's water supply. Meters are used to measure the quantity of water
produced. The current meters measure the water produced at an accuracy
rate of 95-97 percent. Since 2003, the Public Works Agency has been
replacing these older meters with Magnetic flow meters that contain no
moving parts, do not require servicing, and can measure water at an
accuracy of 99 percent. This item is to replace meters at three water-
pumping stations that are over 25 years old. Once installed, the new meters
will improve the accuracy of water measurement and the operating efficiency
of the City's wells.
