When will city staff come to my home to install the R900 device?
It is difficult to determine exactly when staff will come to your home, based on the failure rate of the existing equipment. Water Division employees started installing the R900 transmitters in January of 2015. We are replacing failed devices first, so that we can collect reads and provide accurate billing. Our second priority has been to get the installations complete at all commercial and industrial sites, along with the residential sites that are in the same billing cycle. The priorities beyond that are by billing cycle (there are four total).
