IM.E. Simpson Co., Inc. I Large Water Meter Test and Repair Program Page 14 <br />Macon Water Authority, Macon, Georgia (2012-2016) <br />M.E. Simpson Co. Inc. is currently performing large meter evaluations and testing for the Macon Water <br />Authority. The company is providing the field services expertise, field supervision, testing equipment, <br />vehicles and the field personnel for this comprehensive meter evaluation and accuracy testing project. <br />This project was developed to assist the Authority in controlling the apparent water losses in the large <br />commercial and industrial meters. Over 200-3" and larger meters are being inventoried, classified, and <br />tested for accuracy. A large meter database has been created to be used with the Customer Service data <br />system. After the each phase of the field work is completed, an evaluation of all the meters inspected <br />and tested is performed for maintaining a complete on -going meter evaluation and maintenance <br />program for use by MWA's staff. The large meter population has been set up so regular meter testing <br />intervals can be based on meter revenue as well as meter size and type. Also, as part of the program, <br />M.E. Simpson Co. conducted large meter classes for the field staff of the utility so that the utility would <br />have a better understanding of the methods used in the field to test and evaluate large meters. This <br />program is part of the larger effort to reduce and monitor overall water losses. <br />Contracted amount: <br />Time required to complete the project: <br />Findings of the project: <br />Projected annualized cost saving to the <br />Utility authorizing the project: <br />Contact: <br />Additional client references include: <br />Mr. Stan Balicki <br />Assistant Director of Public Works <br />Village of Downers Grove <br />5101 Walnut Avenue <br />Downers Grove, IL 60515-4074 <br />630.434.5460 <br />Mr. John Ingram <br />Director of Public Works <br />Village of Orland Park <br />15655 S.
