Sheffield to replace water meters with smart meters
Sheffield Village will install smart water meters in homes and businesses after ordinances passed by Village Council. A loan of 1,360,375 dollars at 3.48 percent for 20 years funds the project, with monthly fees set at 5 dollars for residences, 10 for public institutions, and 20 for industrial accounts. The ordinance removes the time limit on the fee to sustain the village water department.
