When it comes to reading water meters, the City of Kenora is going to continue to
go "old school".
The Operations Department wants to hire a meter reader to go door to door, once
every three months.
Operations manager Rick Perchuck says it would cost two million dollars to install
a new remote "reading" system.
He expects the cost will eventually go down, but in the meantime, he says its more
feasible to hire someone to do the reading manually.
