Houston may pour $5.5 million more into its water meter network as project costs climb
A plan before Houston City Council would expand spending authority for the city's smart water meter system by $5.5 million, lifting the contract ceiling to $43.5 million. Houston City Council is considering expanding spending authority for its smart water meter system by $5.5 million, raising the contract ceiling to $43.5m as project costs rise. The additional funding would come from Houston's Water and Sewer System Consolidated Construction Fund and go to Sensus USA. If approved, it would keep Houston Public Works' Advanced Metering Infrastructure operations running until 2027. The money would come in from the water and sewer construction fund. This is the first formal increase to that limit since the 2020 award. The council vote will determine whether Houston can continue funding the full setup, hardware, labor, and installation support.
