Capital Improvement Program <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />2011 thru 2015 <br />Project 08 -WTR -004 <br />Project Name Water Meter Replacement <br />Department Water Utility <br />Contact <br />Type Equipment <br />Useful Life <br />Category Water Utility Improvement <br />Priority <br />6- Planned <br />Status <br />Active <br />Description Total Project Cost: <br />$712,500 <br />Water Meter replacement program. <br />Justification <br />The first water meters were installed 23 years ago. Industry standards recommend replacing meters every 10 -15 years. <br />Meters read slower as they <br />age, showing less consumption than is actually used. <br />This project proposes replacing all meters by 2012.. The replacements will be rapid read. All new meters will also be <br />this style. New meters will <br />be paid for by the new customer. <br />Radio read will position the City for doing meter reading in house. All of our accounts could be read quickly with this <br />technology. The readings <br />will also provide alerts on backflow into our system or meter tampering. <br />Prior Expenditures 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <br />Total <br />226,000 Furnishings /Equipment 237,300 249,200 <br />486,500 <br />Total Total 237,300 249,200 <br />486,500 <br />Prior Funding Sources <br />226,000 Water Utility Fund <br />Total <br />2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <br />237,300 249,200 <br />Total 237,300 249,200 <br />486,500 <br />Revised 1212010 <br />Total <br />486,500 <br />Page 286 <br />
