Leander residents can expect to see city contractors working in their yards over the next few months as a survey is taken to determine which water meters need updating and which ones need replacing.
The city is in the process of installing water meters that will support electronic communications, enabling the city to operate more efficiently and conserve more water, Capital Improvements Program Manager Tony Bettis said at the Feb. 20 city council meeting.
The two-minute impact
Leander is ensuring that all water meters in the area are able to wirelessly send data to the city, and the process will require installing a minimum of 15 communication towers around town, Bettis said. Some of the towers will be built as 75-foot poles and others will be stationed on existing elevated water towers.
