Metering System Upgrade Project – Update 3

Written by Byron Bennett on January 9, 2023. Posted in Meter Project Updates.

In early February 2021, the BGJWSC mobilized its meter installation contractor, M&E Construction, to install at or about 7,500 meters at various locations across Glynn County. Each of the 4 phases of this project will take 7 to 8 months to complete and will repeat again in similar batches until all 30,000 meters have been upgraded. This staggering of upgrades will help ensure that the batteries in the radio transmitters, which we expect to have a useful life of fifteen years, do not all fail during the same period in the future.

Approximately 17,400 meters have been replaced to date. Overall, the meter replacement project is about 58% complete and is anticipated to be completed by December 2023.

Thanks in advance for your patience during our progress.
