Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Sacramento Department of Utilities (DOU) initiated a water meter implementation program in 2005 to meet the State-mandated (AB 2572) installation of water meters on all water service connections by January 1, 2025. To improve water conservation efforts within the City, the meter program was accelerated in 2015 with a commitment to complete the program by the end of 2020. Currently, approximately 70% of drinking water service connections in the City of Sacramento are metered. An additional 40,000 meters are required to be installed before program completion. In addition, approximately 80 miles of drinking water pipeline infrastructure will be replaced concurrent with meter installations.
