THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The July 13, 2026 Board of Public Works agenda includes discussion of switching to Tantalus for reading water meters. The utility already pays Dutton-Lainson for a recurring "Tantalus Monthly" license, suggesting existing use for electric metering and evaluation for water. No decision to switch has been recorded yet, so scope, costs, and implementation approach appear open. AMI/AMR and utility IT vendors can help shape the migration plan, integration with billing, and water-side endpoints before a formal procurement or expansion decision.
AP detail shows a $2,602.24 July 13, 2026 payment to Dutton-Lainson labeled "TANTALUS MONTHLY," indicating an active Tantalus subscription on the electric side.
