In continuing to keep Olla’s water system up to date and more cost effective, we are in the process of making significant upgrades to our metering system.  We are currently replacing all water meters with new electronic badger meters.  The new meters will provide more accurate meter readings for billing purposes and provide a platform which can help customers better manage their utility bill by providing them with timely information concerning their water usage.
