Default AMI vs AMR water meter systems

It’s a beautiful time in the Villages so who cares? The NSCUDD board has been given the task of accepting or rejection a staff proposal to spent over 20 million to replace water meters. As sometimes is the case, we are presented with the proposal to study seven days before our board meeting. A set of metrics was established by Jacobs, staff and Vikus to determine the best choice of water meter systems. That’s ok but our customers were never asked for their opinion and to my knowledge the NSCUDD board was never asked to help establish metrics yet alone participate in the study.

I understand that there is a fine line between the actions of staff and the board. The board should not micromanage but still have some degree of participation on major projects. The board does have the final say but I do not like to delay projects that have taken a lot of time by staff and others to develop.

It will be an interesting meeting to hear the give and take between all participants. If interest, please attend the NSCUDD board meeting this Monday, April 8th at 3PM at the SeaBreeze Rec Center. I wish you a beautiful time in the Villages.
