Statesboro’s Water/Wastewater Department is overhauling the way it monitors water usage. In a meeting held Tuesday, Statesboro City Council agreed unanimously to spend approximately $1.86 million for a system that will allow every water meter in the city to be read from a single location.The upgrade will entail approximately 13,000 water meters that operate on the Sensus FlexNet System, allowing staff to record usage data from a central location — City Hall — rather than trek around town. The move will save the city both time and money, according to Water/Wastewater Director Wayne Johnson.“It will make us much more efficient,” he said.
