Installation of the AMI meter upgrade is being funded through current rates. After the upgrade, you might see an increase because the new meters record consumption more accurately than the old meters. As water meters age, they tend to run slower and may not measure all the water going through them. Many of the existing water meters in the City are at least 10-15 years old. Therefore, depending on the age and accuracy of your current meter, you may see an increase in your bill based on more accurate readings.
