Claxton seeks water system upgrades
By Thomas Dale

The Claxton City Council is working to implement a plan to replace the city’s analog water service meters.
On Monday evening, during a regularly scheduled council meeting, the council heard from Christopher Quigley of Peoples & Quigley, Inc., an engineering consulting firm from Sandy Springs, Ga.. Quigley presented a plan to pursue grant dollars to help pay for a water system upgrade.
City officials say that a new meter system would be digital, allowing meter data to be uploaded to mobile city meter reading equipment without the need to have a city employee physically read each unit. The new equipment is also planned to be capable of hour-by-hour monitoring per unit, allowing the city to monitor customers to determine if excess water usage may be caused by a leak or other problem within the water system.
