Village Council Approves Sole Source Water Meter Contract

The Village Council authorized a sole source contract with Badger Meter, Inc. for the purchase of water meters and related components. The council made this decision during a workshop meeting on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026.

The contract allows the village to buy water metering equipment from a single supplier. The annual cost for the meters and components is estimated at $175,000. This purchase supports the village's efforts to maintain and upgrade its water infrastructure, ensuring accurate measurement and efficient service delivery to residents.

Badger Meter, Inc. will be the sole source provider. The village presented documentation supporting this decision, including a quote for the 2026-2027 period and a sole source justification. The Village Council Workshop serves as a forum for discussing agenda items before potential formal action in a regular council meeting. Further details on the implementation timeline and specific meter models will be available as the contract process proceeds.
