UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: FROM: <br />ERMU Commission Mark Hanson - General Manager <br />MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />September 9, 20255.3 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project Discussion <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None, Discussion Only <br />DISCUSSION: <br />We are nearing the end of our multi-year Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. We <br />have replaced nearly all meters for which we have received replacement meters from the <br />vendor. Meters that still need to be replaced fall into one of four categories: <br />1) Insufficient Supply: We have not received replacement meters from the vendor. <br />2) Non-Responsive: The customer has not responded to our requests to change the meter. <br />3) Active Holdout: The customer has responded but is refusing to schedule an appointment <br />to change the meter. <br />4) To Be Scheduled: Meter change out is limited by staff/contractor availability or the <br />customer has recently scheduled a meter replacement. <br /> <br />The table below presents the current numbers of remaining meters by meter type and <br />replacement category (as of Wednesday, September 3): <br /> <br />Total Insufficient Non-Active To Be <br />Meter TypeRemaining Supply Responsive Holdout Scheduled <br />Commercial Electric 810 421 0 0 389 <br />Residential Electric 308 86 0 2 220 <br />Commercial Water 39 10 0 38 <br />Residential Water 97 083 2 12 <br />We expect to receive the remaining commercial electric meters in November. Once received, <br />we will work directly with those customers to replace their meters. Our contracted plumber <br />continues to replace the remaining commercial water meters. We have not received active <br />resistance from any of our commercial water customers. <br />With regard to residential electric meters, most meters have been replaced, or will be replaced, <br />except for two active holdouts claiming we do not have the legal right to change the meter <br />(these same customers are making the same claim for the water meter in their home). Staff is <br />working with our attorney to draft a letter clarifyingour legal right to change the meter. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />77 <br />
