Contractors with the city of Pleasanton will be replacing more than 22,000 water meters at homes and businesses starting this month as part of the city’s Water Meter Replacement Project.
The project aims to improve aging infrastructure to ensure water customers are not paying more than they should be and to strengthen the city’s overall water system, according to a Nov. 5 press release from the city. It’s expected to cost about $12 million and will be funded by the city’s Water Enterprise Fund, water revenue bond proceeds and revenue from increased water rates.
