EDWARDSVILLE One of the larger recent projects Edwardsville Public Works will embark on this year is a four-year plan to replace and upgrade city water meters, residential and commercial, with automated versions that communicate via radio signals.
Tuesday, the city council approved spending $1,002,250 on a sole source resolution from Core and Main for 4,000 new meters and Smartpoint radios as the project’s first phase. During the city’s public services committee meeting on Feb. 9 and at Tuesday’s city council meeting, City Engineer Ryan Zwijack gave a presentation on the topic.

Patton said at previous meetings that this project dates back to 2014. The two entities already partner on the pool at SIUE and this agreement would be another example of city-village collaboration.
