Hi all,
I am looking for an updated thread on water meter and camera system recommendations. Yes, I just spent the last hour going through all the old water meter threads but few of them are recent. I have a 68 lot community in Minnesota that is currently using the old badger brass body meters with remote reads. My park manager reads the remotes monthly. I find it is not a very accurate system for various reasons but because I included a set amount of water in the lot rent and only billed for abnormally high usage it was good enough. Now that water billing laws have changed in the state (positively) and I am due for a rent increase, I am interested in billing the water/sewer back to the tenants in place of the rent increase.
What have owners in cold climates found are the best meters and systems for them?
While not opposed to any of the latest and greatest technology, it is not a necessity.
What is a necessity is a meter that is not destroyed by a freeze up, is accurate, doesn’t cost a fortune, relatively easy to install and repair, long lifespan, and as a bonus would have no internal moving parts like my old badgers. They tend to get debris in them after my plumber repairs a line break and from deuteriation of my old lines.
Mid America Meter has suggested this meter, anyone use it? Sonata Ultrasonic Water Meter - Master Meter
Thanks in advance,
Jason
