The city produces and sells water to the residents via four (4) water production wells and a distribution network connecting reservoirs to the end consumers. There are two (2) wastewater lift stations that pump wastewater over hills and ultimately to the treatment facility located in Santa Rosa. The pumps at the Morris lift station are showing signs of decreased efficiency to move material from the wet well to the pipeline. This measure will replace the three (3) pumps with new and relocate to them to the pump room, removing the 2-story drive shaft system currently in place. Wells 6 and 8 are showing signs of reduced efficiency. By redeveloping and replacing well components the production efficiency may be increased. By replacing equipment and redeveloping wells, pumping efficiency may be increased to reduce the cost to produce water and remove wastewater. This will also realize a significant maintenance improvement at the sites.

11, Repair / Replace Door Sweeps and Seals
The exterior doors and exit stair well doors have missing or damaged door sweeps and seals. This allows for air, water and pest infiltration to the buildings. By repairing or replacing the door sweeps and seals of the exterior doors, the amount of infiltration will be reduced. By installing door sweeps on the interior exit doors the occupied spaces will be able to be conditioned better. Reduced infiltration and conditioned air migration will reduce the amount of energy needed to condition the occupied spaces.
Envelope
• Provide and install appropriate door sweeps and seals for all exterior exit doors • Provide necessary engineering and project management for complete turnkey system • Provide cut sheets/submittal package, O&M manual
• Provide owner/operator training
• Provide replacement stock for equipment as needed
12, Installation of Window Film
The windows on the East, South and Western exposures have windows that let in a significant amount of solar heat and UV radiation. There are manual shades to reduce the amount of solar glare entering the building but are typically left closed. The intent of this measure is to install window film directly on the interior surface of the glazing to reduce glare, UV and heat gain in the spaces. By reducing the amount of heat gain to the spaces the air conditioning will not have to work as hard to cool the spaces.
Additionally, by reducing the amount of UV incidence in the spaces, the interior finishes will not be worn as quickly.

E-Series® Ultrasonic Meter
Cold Water Engineered Polymer Meter, 5/8, 5/8 x 3/4, 3/4, and 1 inch Product Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION
The E-Series® Ultrasonic meter uses solid-state technology in a compact, totally encapsulated, weatherproof, and UV-resistant housing, suitable for residential and commercial applications.
Electronic metering provides information—such as rate of flow and reverse flow indication—and data not typically available through traditional, mechanical meters and registers. Electronic metering eliminates measurement errors due to sand, suspended particles and pressure fluctuations.
The Ultrasonic 5/8, 5/8 × 3/4, 3/4, and 1 inch meters feature:
• Minimum extended low-flow rate lower than typical positive displacement meters.
• Simplified one-piece electronic meter and register that are integral to the meter body and virtually maintenance free. • Sealed, non-removable, tamper-protected meter and register. • Easy-to-read, 9-digit LCD display presents consumption, rate of flow, reverse-flow indication, and alarms.
• High resolution industry standard ASCII encoder protocol.
The Ultrasonic meter is available with an in-line connector for easy connection and installation to AMR/AMI endpoints. It is also available with a flying lead for field splice connection.
APPLICATIONS
Use the Ultrasonic meter for measuring potable cold water in residential, commercial and industrial services. The meter is also ideal for non-potable, irrigation water applications or less than optimum water conditions where small particles exist.
E-Series Ultrasonic meters meet and exceed ANSI/AWWA C715 standards. The meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act, are certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372 and carry the NSF-61 mark on the housing.
OPERATION & PERFORMANCE
As water flows into the measuring tube, ultrasonic signals are sent consecutively in forward and reverse directions of flow. Velocity is then determined by measuring the time difference between the measurement in the forward and reverse directions. Total volume is calculated from the measured flow velocity using water temperature and pipe diameter. The LCD display shows total volume and alarm conditions and can toggle to display rate of flow.
In the normal temperature range of 45…122° F (7…50° C), the Ultrasonic “new meter” consumption measurement is accurate to:
• ±1.5% over the normal flow range
• ±3.0% from the extended low flow range to the minimum flow value
CONSTRUCTION
E-Series Ultrasonic meters feature an engineered polymer, lead-free meter housing, an engineered polymer and stainless steel metering insert, a meter-control circuit board with associated wiring, LCD, and battery. Wetted elements are limited to the pressure vessel, polymer/stainless steel metering insert and the transducers.
The electronic components are housed and fully potted within a molded, engineered polymer enclosure, which is permanently attached to the meter housing. The transducers extend through the polymer housing and are sealed by O-rings.
The metering insert holds the stainless steel ultrasonic reflectors in the center of the flow area, enabling turbulence-free water flow through the tube and around the ultrasonic signal reflectors. The metering insert’s patented design virtually eliminates chemical buildup on the reflectors, ensuring long-term metering accuracy.
METER INSTALLATION
The meter is completely submersible and can be installed using horizontal or vertical piping, with flow in the up direction. The meter will not measure flow when an ”empty pipe” condition is experienced. An empty pipe is defined as a condition when the flow sensors are not fully submerged.

FUNCTIONALITY
Operation: ORION Cellular water endpoints communicate with the encoder and capture 15-minute interval read data and meter status information. The endpoints then automatically broadcast the information, including endpoint status information, via the cellular network to BEACON® AMA. ORION NaaS is powered by the proven ORION system for interval data capture and two-way communication. The solution employs cellular endpoints which, as they leverage the public cellular network and require no proprietary gateways to operate, dramatically reduce infrastructure requirements compared to a traditional fixed network. This speeds installations and simplifies expansion as a system evolves.
The endpoints are designed to call in four times each workday and feature a configurable schedule that enables utility customers to select call-in times that best support their processes.
Activation: ORION Cellular water endpoints are shipped
in an inactive, non-transmitting state. The Badger Meter IR Communication Device can be used to activate the endpoints and verify the encoder connection. Successful endpoint function can be confirmed through a web app demonstrating that communication has been verified to both the encoder and the network.
Alternatively, the endpoints offer a Smart Activation feature. After installation, the endpoints begin broadcasting data when the encoder senses the first usage of water. No field programming or special tools are required.
Broadcast Mode: ORION Cellular water endpoints broadcast fixed network reading data through the secure cellular network within the service area.
Specific configurations also transmit a radio frequency (RF) message to facilitate troubleshooting in the field. See "Configurations" on page 2.
Data Storage: The endpoints store 42 days of 15-minute data.
Output Message: ORION Cellular water endpoints broadcast a unique serial number, meter reading data, and applicable status indicators. As an advanced data security measure, each message is securely transported to the BEACON AMA software only via private network and never over the public internet.
APPLICATION
Configurations: ORION Cellular water endpoints are multi-purpose endpoints that can be deployed in indoor, outdoor and pit (non-metal pit lid) applications. The electronics and battery assembly are fully encapsulated in epoxy for environmental integrity. The endpoint is available with a connector assembly for ease of installation.

HR-E® LCD Encoder
Product Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION
Applications: The High Resolution encoder (HR-E LCD) is a fully electronic, solid-state encoder with no moving parts. It is designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. The HR-E LCD provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints and other AMR/AMI
technology solutions approved by Badger Meter.
NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to the document HR-E LCD Encoder User Manual, available at
www.badgermeter.com.
Field Programmable: The HR-E LCD encoder comes standard as factory programmed to customer specifications, with the option for field programming the unit of measure, meter type, meter model, digit resolution from the encoder, billing units, and rate-of-flow time and units. Programming is performed through the IR port via a computer.
Electronic Resolution: Standard encoded output from the HR-E LCD is nine digits.
Status Indicators: Status indicators are sent as part of the encoder extended message to AMR/AMI systems such as ORION Cellular, Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints that are capable of receiving an extended message. The details can also be read through an IR interface.
Mounting: Icons on the HR-E LCD encoder face indicate encoder status and alarm conditions. The fully potted encoder assembly has a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The HR-E LCD encoder can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service.
Magnetic Drive Communication: The HR-E LCD encoder detects movement of the wet side meter magnet with magnetic sensors to provide reliable and dependable encoded communication.
Tamper-resistant Features:
Unauthorized removal of the HR-E LCD encoder is inhibited by a tamper-resistant Torx® seal screw. Torx seal screws are provided as standard accessories. Optional proprietary tamper-proof screws are also available.
Magnetic sensors detect and report an attempted encoder removal. In addition, the HR-E LCD encoder is resistant to magnetic tampering. The encoder detects an attempted tamper—as well as encoder removal—and sends a tamper alarm in either situation.
Approved endpoints capable of receiving the alarms, such as ORION Cellular, Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints, can then report the tamper condition to the meter reading software.

ORION® Cellular Endpoints
FAQ
This document provides information regarding radio frequency (RF) of the ORION® Cellular endpoint.
Badger Meter is the market leader for utility cellular solutions, having deployed millions of endpoints with thousands of customers.
Cellular technology for machine-to-machine applications is designed to ensure transmission accuracy, immunity from outside interference and other forms of attenuation to avoid the loss of customer data. Likewise, the ORION Cellular endpoint is designed to eliminate interference from outside electromagnetic and RF energy fields. As its primary communication, the ORION Cellular endpoint utilizes licensed frequencies that are specifically set aside for its cellular communications, recognized as one of the most secure approaches to network communication available. Specific configurations also transmit an RF message to facilitate troubleshooting in the field.
FAQS
What standards related to RF emissions apply to ORION Cellular endpoints? In the United States, FCC and CTIA are the bodies responsible for regulating domestic wireless telecommunications programs and policies, including licensing, and are responsible for implementing rules and regulations regarding frequency allocations, operating and design characteristics of equipment, power limits and testing/certification requirements, among other responsibilities. As its primary communication, the ORION Cellular endpoint utilizes licensed frequencies that are specifically set aside for its cellular communications. ORION Cellular endpoints utilize licensed frequencies to avoid interference from unauthorized users. Certain configurations of the ORION Cellular endpoint include an additional RF message for troubleshooting that communicates on the FCC-regulated 902-928 MHz frequency. ORION Cellular endpoints comply with Part 15, Part 22, Part 24 and Part 27 of FCC Rules.
Are there any health impacts related to these RF emissions? The radio frequency signals broadcast from the ORION Cellular endpoint are well below the levels most people come into contact with on a typical day in their home. Devices such as televisions, wireless phones and cell phones all utilize radio frequency technology that provides much greater contact to radio frequency signals. The endpoint operates like a cell phone and under normal operation will awaken approximately four times per day to communicate data via the cellular network. Some configurations include an additional RF message for troubleshooting. The duration of each of these RF transmissions is 1.4 milliseconds, equating to approximately 8 seconds of transmission time per day. This means that the endpoint transmits as little energy as a brief cell phone call.
Additionally, the exposure to radio frequency signals decreases with the square of the distance to the device. This means the farther away anyone is from the RF device, the less the radio frequency contact. For example, the energy measured two feet away from the endpoint is 1/4 of the energy measured at a distance of one foot. Since the ORION endpoint is typically located in the basement, on the outside of the house or in a pit below grade away from the house, the extended distance and material between the endpoint and the individual further reduces contact with radio frequency signals.
What is the output power of the ORION Cellular endpoint during a data transmission? The ORION Cellular endpoint is designed for reliable data delivery over long distances, transmitting at a maximum power that is governed by the cellular standard, 23 dBm (0.20 W). For configurations that support the RF message for troubleshooting, the RF broadcast will be at approximately 10 dBm. continued on back page

What frequencies do ORION Cellular endpoints utilize?
As its primary communication, the ORION Cellular endpoint utilizes licensed frequencies that are specifically set aside for cellular communications. Unlike many AMI solutions that use shared frequencies and bandwidth, ORION Cellular endpoints utilize licensed frequencies to avoid interference from unauthorized users. Endpoint configurations that support the RF message for troubleshooting communicate on the FCC-regulated 902-928 MHz frequency. ORION Cellular endpoints comply with Part 15, Part 22, Part 24 and Part 27 of FCC Rules.
