Impact analysis
The project is funded through the capital improvement program and is projected to pay for itself over 13 to 14 years through recovered unbilled water and operational savings.
Glendale water customers will benefit from detailed usage data, leak alerts, and improved conservation tools.
Residents with older, under-registering meters or undetected leaks may experience higher water bills when the new meters are installed.
