HOLLISTER
Hollister is set to consider replacing all city-operated water meters to radio-read meters while also outsourcing the mailing of utility bills.
City Manager Clint Quilter said the council at 6 p.m. Monday will consider switching to new meters that can be read by radio signals to help with the city’s transition to a monthly billing schedule. Monthly billing is scheduled to start April 1.
The new meters would replace all of the meters in the city, including houses and businesses. Replacing the meters and outsourcing the utility bills would cost the water enterprise fund and wastewater enterprise fund $108,700 and $8,700, respectively.
Both of these items came about from the mid-year budget review. Staff identified these two items to be funded by the water and wastewater enterprise funds.
The meeting will be at Hollister City Hall, 375 Fifth St.
