February 5, 2020 - To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. This contract was awarded in compliance with City Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Program. Current participation to date is 14.97% MBE and 1.79% WBE.

Other potential benefits include improving customer service and satisfaction, enabling customer usage alerts before a bill arrives, and identifying potential customer-side leaks. This data will also enable Austin Water to have better system diagnostic tools, such as leak detection. Additionally, this project will produce a superior metering asset management database that will better facilitate operations and maintenance activities. Although meter reads will be collected more frequently, the city’s existing multi-service billing process through its Customer Care and Billing system will remain and continue to …
