The two devices will cost $8,700. Utilities Superintendent Eddie Miller said the quote included updated software and training information. Miller added current equipment is about 10 years old.
With the new system, accounts are downloaded into the hand held devices. Then a utility service employee will pull up the information for a certain location, and input the meter reading for that day into the device.
Once the employee's work is complete the readings he or she has collected that day are then back into the utilities' computer system.
And Miller added the system allows for an alarm to go off if the meter reading is too far out of normal range.
