Girard lawmaker proposes new water meters for $1.9M

GIRARD — Anyone receiving city water may soon be getting a new water meter and a small additional monthly fee to pay for the updated device.

Council is considering legislation proposed by Councilman Joe Shelby that would authorize Safety Service Director Jerry Lambert to purchase replacement water meters at a cost not to exceed $1,911,335.

Water customers would be charged an additional $5 a month to pay for the meters. The fee would end when the meters are paid for in full.
