About 1,200 Round Rock water utility customers will be getting new meters soon.

City officials approved a measure to replace water meters of some customers in October.

What you need to know

City Council approved a $675,000 contract with Georgetown-based Hydropro to replace these water meters, city documents show.

The details


These meters are not functioning properly due to aging batteries, according to a news release from the city. The meters are still measuring water use accurately, but replacing them will eliminate the need for manual readings and estimated bills, the release states.

The replacement will be funded through the city's utility fund.

What's next?

Per the city, the replacements will be carried out in November, with customers experiencing a 10-to-15-minute interruption to their water service. Impacted customers will receive notification from the city starting with the week of Nov. 3, according to the city of Round Rock.
