DATE: December 15, 2008
RE: Water Meter Purchases
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved a new water meter reading system and standardized on
Sensus Water Meters in January 2005. The Council also authorized a yearly purchase
order of Sensus Meters in September of 2006.
ANALYSIS
In order to purchase Sensus Meters in 2009 I have attached a price list for meters along
with a monthly order schedule. As you will note this is the first increase in meter prices
since 2005 when the City standardized on the Sensus Water Meter system.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2009 purchase order will be $502,581.00. The meters will be purchase monthly out
of the Water Utility -Meter Inventory Account.
RECOMMENDATION
The Water Utility and Purchasing have reviewed the pricing and recommend that the
Common Council authorize the 2009 purchase of water meters from National
Waterworks, New Berlin WI 53151.
Respectfully ubmitted,
bin La Fontaine

Dear Jack,
The following are your prices for 2009. We are very pleased to have held the increase to
less than 3% on the 518 ", 3 /",1",11/2" and 2" meters. There is no increase on the
transmitters or on the Omni large meters. This seems to be a very fair increase when you
consider that our original pricing is from 2005. I hope you agree.
