Water System Modernization

The City of Elko is modernizing its municipal water distribution system through a three‑phase rollout that installs advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for over 9,000 service points, adds a continuous leak‑detection system, and deploys real‑time water‑quality monitoring sensors. • Phase 1 (Jan 2025–Jun 2025) replaces existing meters on 1,537 connections. • Phase 2 (Jul 2025–Jun 2026) installs meters on connections with existing pits (≈ 3,124). • Phase 3 (Jul 2026–Jun 2028) constructs new pits and installs meters on the remaining ≈ 4,900 connections. • The contract is a firm‑fixed unit‑price agreement; vendors will be paid per meter and per equipment unit installed. • Awarded to Western Nevada Supply (meter hardware) and Ferguson Water Works (leak detection and water‑quality monitoring).
