The City of Bastrop issued an RFP on January 9, 2014 for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure system (AMI) for both the City's Electric and Water Systems. On February 27, 2014 the City opened two bids for the project. AquaMetric was the selected vendor.
Starting Dec 2014, the City of Bastrop will initiate a comprehensive water and electric meter conversion to an Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) system that will replace approximately 5,700 meters. The City has contracted with AquaMetric, and Utiliuse is their subcontractor for installation of meters, to perform this change-out as they are experienced in this type of meter conversion. The purpose of the effort is to upgrade the City’s water and electric distribution systems with an electronic reading capability and to replace meters that have served beyond their estimated useful lives. The target meter population includes all commercial and residential meters for the City’s service area for water and Bastrop Power & Light electric customers. The estimated time of completion for the entire project is 8 months.
