From the Pikes Peak Courier (Norma Engeberg):
We have a large number of broken meters in this town and we’re losing a lot of revenue,” said City Clerk Sandy Honeycutt. The new meters will be read using radio signals and utilities workers will be able to drive around and read meters in 45 minutes without getting out of their vehicles. Honeycutt said it used to take workers several days each month to read meters. The meter work is being paid for in large part by a state grant. Work is also continuing on the installation of back-flow preventers for commercial water meters as required by state law. The installers are finishing surveys and will be ordering the types of back-flow preventers needed by each business.
