Carmel Utilities to upgrade water meters in city-wide replacement project
The City of Carmel Utilities will begin replacing aging water meters across the community with new, enhanced equipment allowing for more accurate readings and better water efficiency. The project, beginning this month with expected completion in late 2022, will replace approximately 29,000 meters, which have become less effective and accurate due to old age.
“Meter manufacturers cite an average meter age of ten years. Many of Carmel’s meters are more than 18 years old and, in some cases, 30 years old. By replacing our customers meters with this new advanced water meter technology, we’ll be able to better serve our water customers with more accurate data on water consumption and detect and stop leaks in a timely manner,” said John Duffy, Carmel Utilities Director.

Bee respectful
Summer may be leaning in to fall, soon, but flowers have not begun to fade quite yet and temperatures remain warm. As we continue to see bees of all varieties buzzing around, here are a few things to remember:
*Honey bees experience a “late summer dearth”. This is a short period of time where summer nectar flowers have ceased, low to no rain, and lack of fall nectar flowers. During this time, honey bees frantically search for food.
*Honey bees always appreciate planting of fall nectar flowers such as: asters, chrysanthemum, and cat mint.
* Honey bees are not aggressive. They sometimes get a bad reputation from their fellow flying insects such as yellow jackets.
