APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL FROM FERGUSON WATERWORKS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF WATER METER INTERFACE UNITS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a proposal from
Ferguson Waterworks for the purchase of water meter interface units.
Overview
The City provides metered water service to more than 20,000 residential and commercial
customers. Water meter interface units (MIUs) are radios that can be installed inside or
outside of homes and can be read by the existing drive by meter reading system or a fixed
base system in the future.
Annually, the Utilities Division evaluates the age of the meters and recommends those
meters that should be replaced or upgraded to a MIU. We normally replace 1,200 meters
annually. This year due to Covid-19 we are only entering homes for emergencies. There
are 1,118 meters that don’t have radios that were installed from 2010-2014. The proposed
MIUs would be installed on the outside of the homes that don’t currently have a radio.
The Utilities Division requested a proposal from Ferguson Waterworks for MIUs currently
used within the system. The MIUs being purchased are compatible with and will not
disrupt the City’s existing billing process. All MIUs installed by the City allow drive-by
meter reading to limit access to the property and make data collection easier.
Ferguson Waterworks provided a proposal for 1,118 MIUs for a cost of $100,620.00.
Ferguson is the only local distributer for Neptune meters and MIUs. The purchase would
decrease contract meter reading costs by $2,000.00 per year. Staff recommends approval
of the proposal.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Are the MIUs compatible with the existing system? Yes, the MIUs being purchased
are compatible our current meter reading system.

• A copy of the proposal is attached.
