The Somerville Water and Sewer Department is responsible for maintaining, repairing and improving the City's 118 miles of water mains, 1,500 fire hydrants and ~15,600 water service connections and meters, ensuring highquality and dependable service. Since 2022, the City of Somerville has been engaged in a comprehensive water meter replacement program aimed at modernizing its water metering infrastructure to improve meter accuracy, efficiency, revenues, and customer service. This replacement program implemented Metron-Farnier Single Jet Cold Water Meters with cellular Advanced Metering registers that include the WaterScope software, Metron’s proprietary product. This technology provides real-time data, leak detection, and enhanced customer service capabilities. These features are integral to the City's objectives of improving water management and customer service.
