#622 - REQUEST FROM THE MAYOR TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING WATER METER
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Communication from the Mayor requesting an opportunity to discuss the City’s water meter
replacement program with the City Council, was referred to the Committee on Government
Services co-posted with the Committee of the Whole.
Honorable Salem City Council
93 Washington Street
Salem, MA 01970
Re: Water Meter Replacement Program
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
I would like to request an opportunity to discuss the City’s water meter replacement program with the
City Council at an upcoming committee meeting.
As you may know, over the last several months the City has been in the process of procuring an
installer and vendor to replace the majority of the City’s water meters at the residential and commercial
level. Many of the City’s water meters are almost 20 years old, impossible to access and have become
extremely unreliable. It is recommended that water meters be replaced every ten years.
The City has chosen Ty Sales from Sudbury as the meter representative for Neptune meters.
Easton Win Water from Brockton has been chosen as the installer. The new water meter system will be a
fixed network meaning that all readings will be delivered though a wireless radio frequency. This new
system will allow for more accurate readings, better access to more detailed information, improved water
conservation measures and operational efficiencies.
I look forward to discussing this project with you in further detail at a future meeting. Thank you for
your consideration of this request.
Very truly yours,
Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor

Honorable Salem City Council
93 Washington Street

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
I am requesting to address the Council tonight on two issues.
First, as you are undoubtedly aware, a key Dominion official has said it will likely close the Salem
Harbor Power Plant in the next five years. The power plant is both a source of revenue and jobs for Salem
and its residents and I would like to update you on the status of plans at the power plant.
I would also like the chance to give you some information and answer any questions you may have
about the bond authorizations for the Saltonstall School and Collins Middle School.
Sincerely,
Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor
