WATER UTILITIES EXPANDS LARGE WATER METER TESTING PROGRAM
The Irving Water Utilities Department oversees more than 50,000 meters, which measure the volume of water delivered to residential and commercial customers throughout the city. With such a large water infrastructure network, the department is consistently seeking innovative technology to enhance delivery, improve billing accuracy and keep costs down for its customers.

In April 2020, the Water Utilities Department launched a pilot program to evaluate the performance of 50 of its 680 large water meters. Large meters are used at commercial properties, such as businesses, hotels, schools, apartments, manufacturing facilities and hospitals. A large meter is 4-inches in diameter or larger to accommodate the need for higher water usage. Residential meters are smaller in diameter because less water is consumed by individual households than larger commercial properties.
