Seek three bids to purchase the most suitable Smart Water Meter System to use on the Reservation. Purchase the selected Smart Water Meters. This will include approving a contract with a Smart Meter company to provide “cloud-based” information services. Install the Smart Water Meters and related items: water meter boxes, plumbing items, shut-off valves, etc., as needed. Install smart meters on selected Tribal administration buildings and between Tribal homes. Monitor the smart meters each month, using the data for water conservation, for public education, and for water system leakage monitoring.
