Monthly comparison of Edgerton and Fulton Meter reads:
Reads were reviewed and discussed. The readings of gallons pumped by Edgerton and
gallons pumped by Fulton are close again this month. Reads for 2011 will be compared
to 2012. Very small leaks after the meters (at residents) may not be picked up by the
meters and may be contributing to difference in readings. Additionally, the utility will
inquire about pricing, effectiveness and availability of leak locator service provider(s).
The City of Janesville has had successful results from a particular provider recently.
Vehicles parked over curb stop box, preventing H20 Operator access:
Protocol was discussed. As stated in Tariff and Ordinance it is the responsibility of the
property owner to protect the curb stop box from situations that could obstruct access to
it. The property owner shall be asked to remove the obstruction and if non-compliant,
authorities will be contacted and obstruction(s) removed at property owners’ expense.

• DNR Yearly Inspection will be performed Friday 3/23/2012.
• Protocol for pursuing known residential leaks after the meter was discussed.

locator vendors about their effectiveness for our system size and needs.
