Extreme water losses are how Clinton City Administrator Tim Followell described the current state of the community's water production.
The City isn't losing water but rather they are producing more than is being tracked when you use water in your home and that is causing concern, which is why an upcoming change is being made.
Followell says the water meters in homes in Clinton are, in some cases, over 40 years old with a life expectancy of 10-15 years. He says they are now going be working to get new meters in homes in Clinton.
Residents will see their waters bills go up most likely. Followell indicates most of the use of water in a home is termed, low flow, and that will now be tracked with a better meter in place.
According to Followell, three entities are teaming up in this effort which is over $1-million. The City is leading the effort and is working to save taxpayers as much as possible.
Residents will receive a letter about the upcoming project. Followell indicates they will be reaching out to residents about getting meters in their homes up to date.
