Below is a short video regarding the Naperville City Council Budget Workshop held on March 23, 2015. There is discussion regarding:
- A proposed $150,000 rate study;
- The status of the Lowfoot project where 100 City customers tested a new e-portal type product (after the failure of the Calico contract which resulted in no usable product).
Noteworthy quotes:
- “The smart metering provides just an insurmountable amount of information.” Well, if that is the case, why continue to collect it?
- “The residents really enjoyed tracking the ‘weekly’ usage,” yet only 4 people showed up to talk about the project at an “open house,” and 33 responded to an online survey about their experience. Yes, it sounds like people were really excited.
