City of Hurst Water Tower
Water Meter Replacement Project Update

The City of Hurst is modernizing its water metering system. Since October 2024, City contractors, Ameresco and their subcontractor, Second Sight Systems, have been evaluating pipe material at the water meter to meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead & Copper requirements. This is the first phase of our water meter replacement project, estimated to complete by April 2025.

The second phase of the water meter replacement project is estimated to begin in May 2025. Also in partnership with Ameresco and Second Sight Systems, new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters will be installed for all utility customers. This upgrade will provide you with more detailed insights into your water usage, helping you track consumption and manage your monthly bill more effectively.
