This ordinance amends Article IV, “Watering System,” Chapter 9 and Appendix A, Division II of the Village Code by providing opt-out clauses for the Automated Meter Reading (AMR) program. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information regarding the AMR program, reviewed the modifications to the Village Code and responded to questions from the Village Board. In order to modernize water billing services, Public Works recently installed automated meter reading technology (AMR) throughout the village-owned water distribution system. Utilizing this technology,water consumption readings are transmitted to the Village wirelessly; water customers are no longer asked to self-report water meter readings. To date, 11,401 of the 11,440 water meters in the village-owned water system are read utilizing AMR technology. Of the remaining 39 properties, 25 have declined participation in the program citing security or health concerns associated with radio frequency transmissions. Despite reports that generally conclude that radio frequency technology utilized to read water meters does not present significant health or security risks,staff recognized that some customers may want to limit exposure inside their homes. The ordinance under consideration provides customers wishing to opt-out of the Village’s AMR program two (2) options: Option 1 –Automated Meter Read Endpoint installed on the outside of residence/building ($60.00 one- time charge) Option 2 –No Automated Read Endpoint installed on property ($60.00 one-time charge for installation of outside register; $15.47 monthly charge to meter read meter) Staff provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board: With passage of the ordinance customers wanting to opt–out will be notified; resolved by end of the year. Support opportunity for customers to opt-out. If customer changes mind –meter can beremoved from outside to inside. AMR system provides more accurate readings.
