BACKGROUND:

The City of Joliet Department of Public Utilities maintains a citywide Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system to read water consumption data from approximately 50,000 meters on a monthly basis.  This system consists of three main components including water meters, SmartPoint radios, and radio-read / tower infrastructure.  Sensus meters have been the City standard since 1987, and Core & Main LP is the sole authorized area distributor of Sensus equipment.  The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

To meet the City’s needs for upcoming water meter replacements and new development, the following metering equipment is needed:
