With Monona’s current residential water meters, utility staff must drive by each residence and download a reading from each meter for each billing period. The new meters have a special transmitter which feed to an antenna-based system and allow readings to be done from a computer. So, the utility clerk can read individual meters right from her desk at any time. And, you, the water customer, will be able to download a special app, create an account, and view and track your own water usage at any time.
