Water Meter Replacement Program  

The South Granville Water and Sewer Authority (SGWASA) is replacing aging water meters in the City of Creedmoor service area to improve meter accuracy, enhance operational efficiency, and support future system upgrades.

SGWASA has approximately 6,600 water meters in its service area. The water meters are comprised of varying makes, models, ages, and read types (manual and automatic). The conglomeration of non-standardized water meters across the SGWASA service area places SGWASA in a demanding situation when it comes to reading meters, updating meters, replacing meters, etc.

​

The upgraded meters provide SGWASA with the ability to collect the meter information via a radio receiver versus a manual reading. This upgrade has provided SGWASA with a more accurate and efficient way of reading water meters. This project cost SGWASA $222,453.00 for the meters.  

SGWASA oversees approximately 6,600 water meters across its service area. In recent years, SGWASA has undertaken a project to replace outdated water meters with new ones throughout its service regions, including parts of the City of Creedmoor. The SGWASA/City of Creedmoor service area specifically contains 2,200 water meters.

Due to the aging infrastructure, most of these meters require replacement. To address this need efficiently, SGWASA decided that hiring a contractor specializing in water meter replacements and upgrades would be the most cost-effective solution. This initiative is listed in the SGWASA Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as PID# 102-05, at a cost of $1,000,000.

This project is identified in the SGWASA FY23-33 CIP as PID# 102-05 at a cost of $1,000,000.
