Residential Water Meter Retrofit Project
Project Overview
The City of Fresno implemented a Residential Water Meter Retrofit Project, requiring the installation of water meters on all residential service connections in 2013. By having meters installed, residents can track and reduce their water usage, identify leaks, and contribute to local sustainability efforts. With 43,600 acre-feet of water saved a year, the project enhances the city’s water management and supports long-term sustainability.
Project Highlights:
