SUMMARY & BACKGROUND: To provide small water meter installation services.
Scope of Work: The contract allows a private contractor to install and replace small water meters (under 2") as necessary for new water service customers and to achieve the Department's goals of maintaining system reliability and ensuring fiscal responsibility.
This type of contractual service has been found to serve the North Fulton area well. The Water Services Division, working with developers and commercial contractors, has been able to provide the timely installation of new water service through the small meter installation contract.
Community Impact: As part of continued development activity in North Fulton, there is a need to provide new water meter connections to serve developments from the existing water mains. Additionally, an increase in correct metering of small services has resulted in an increase in revenue and decreased unaccounted usage of water in the water system.
