SUMMARY: Over the past seven years, Bremerton Utility staff have been replacing water meter
transmitter units (MXUs) to be compatible with the Sensus Flexnet technology; this replacement is
approximately 87% complete (13,000 of 15,000 installed.) This new technology allows Utility Billing
staff to read, detect leaks, communicate with, shut-off and turn-on individual meters remotely. The
system can also monitor and control other facilities such as street lights; however, that capability is
not included in this initial contract and would require additional software. The Public Works
Agreement includes three parts; purchase and installation of the equipment, set-up and integration of
the software into the City's billing system, and a Software as a Service agreement. Further detail is
included in the attached Council Summary.
