Cedarwood Environmental’s May 8, 2026 report to the Town of Andes notes that the water system’s main meter is malfunctioning and that a new meter has already been ordered for installation. Separately, the 2025 Annual Water Quality Report explains that NYSDEC requires the introduction of water meters, NYC will assist with commercial property meters, and the district is actively seeking grant funding to install meters for other customers. While the primary plant meter replacement appears already ordered, the broader metering program for service connections is still in the planning and funding stage.Meter manufacturers, installers, and utility billing/AMI vendors can engage to help the district design a cost-effective meter deployment strategy, secure grants, and integrate metering data into operations once the initial meter replacement is complete.

NYC will assist with commercial customer meters; the district is pursuing grants for residential/customer meters as part of regulatory compliance.

Budget Planning

The Evergreen Underground Water Conservation District posted a public hearing on its proposed tax rate for tax year 2026. The board had not yet voted, and the proposed total tax rate was 0.004494 per $100 versus 0.004353 last year. The tax rate supports operation and maintenance, so this is a budget-setting signal rather than a procurement. The next real decision point was the board action at the August 21, 2026 meeting.
