Issue Detail: The Accelerated Water Meter Program (AWMP) is on schedule to install water meters on all City water service connections by the City's deadline of December 31, 2020 and the City is currently 87% metered.

Construction on Packages 1, 2, and 3 will be complete by April 2019, Packages 4 and 5 are expected to be completed by April 2020 with Package 6 construction beginning in Summer of 2019 and finishing in November 2020. The AWMP has an estimated cost of $245,700,000, of which $112,100,000 has been expended to date. The AWMP is projected to be completed within the council approved budget and schedule.
The AWMP included a local hire goal of 20% from local priority zip codes or the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) promise zones. The program has exceeded this goal with local hiring currently at 27%. To date approximately $3.9M in local hire wages have been paid with a projected total of $8M by the end of the program.
