League City City Council approved an increase in the city’s investment in water meters by allocating additional funds to purchase new water meters and upgrade existing ones.

What happened

League City voted unanimously at its July 8 meeting to increase the city’s contract with Thirkettle DBA Aqua Metric by $265,000, bringing the total contract value to $681,000, according to city documents.

The meters feature 20-year accuracy warranties, leak detection alarms and remote data reporting, and are compatible with the city’s FlexNex communication network, according to agenda documents.

Looking back


In January, City Council approved higher water and wastewater rates, including adjustments tied to meter size to help fund system improvements, Community Impact previously reported.

Base monthly service charges for standard residential meters increased from $8.26 to $9.08, and wastewater charges from $15.32 to $16.84, city documents show.
