AMI OPT-OUT
The City of Davis provides its single-family residential customers a choice to opt-out of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) radio transmission unit on their new water meters. The AMI Radio Transmission Unit Opt-Out Program is for single-family residential customers who voluntarily choose not to have the data collector/ transmitter installed with their water meter. The program allows customers to have their meter read manually at the end of every month provided the customer pays the added cost of initial manual meter reading set up and monthly meter reading to the City.
If you choose to opt out, the following charges will be added to your monthly water bill:
- An initial, one-time setup fee of $92.00; and
- A meter reading fee of $26.00 per month.
