DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency regularly performs installation, maintenance, and
replacement of residential and commercial water meters. The three types of
meters used by the City are positive displacement, multi-jet and turbine
meters. Positive displacement meters are used primarily for residential
applications. Multi-jet meters are used for multi-family residential,
irrigation and commercial applications. Turbine meters are used for high
volume water users, including industrial, commercial, irrigation, and large
multi-family residential applications.
There are approximately 45,000 metered service locations in the City of
Santa Ana. The meters are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse
for distribution to the Public Works Agency as needed. Typically, a water
meter is replaced every 15 years.
