PLEASE NOTE: The Customer Portal is currently down for maintenance. Thank you for your patience. ​

 

City of Coppell water utility customers will soon start seeing their water meters replaced as part of the City's Advanced Water Meter System project, a new service enhancement initiative to install advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) throughout the community. The city-wide installation of 13,375 new meters is projected to take 14 months. Once installed, the new meter system will provide customers with more accurate water usage data that is updated multiple times throughout the day, water budget and water consumption threshold alerts, comparative data, leak alerts and notifications from the City. Consumption data will be updated on an internet-based customer dashboard that can be accessed from a computer, tablet or smart phone. 

City Manager Mike Land explained how the Advanced Water Meter System project is part of the City's larger efforts to utilize technology to become what is referred to in the marketplace as a "Smart City."

"We are actively looking for ways to use data and technology to enhance our customer experience, City's services, livability and sustainability," he said. "The Advanced Water Meter System project aligns perfectly with these goals."

With the Advanced Water Meter System, Coppell residents will have access to data that will give them an increased understanding of their water consumption. In turn, City staff will be better equipped to assist customers.

"If someone calls and they don't believe that they used that much water, right now the only thing we can do is go out and look at the meter to see if they have a leak or have the meter tested," said Kim Tiehen, Assistant Director of Finance for the City of Coppell. "With this technology, we're going to be able to show them what is happening with their consumption. They're going to be able to graph it, and they're going to be able to see it. This will allow us to provide a level of customer service that was unattainable before."

Currently, the City uses three types of metering systems and multiple meter brands. This variability poses operational challenges for City staff. The Advanced Meter System project will include one type of system and one brand for all meters, which will better equip City staff to maintain operations, manage inventory, and provide all customers with the same level of customer service.

Once the meters are installed and customers start accessing the data from their new meters, the information will allow them to more closely monitor their water consumption and adjust their usage accordingly. In turn, it will provide the City more accurate utility analytics and customer consumption data, better meter data management, increased customer transparency, a reduction in water loss, a reduction in labor costs, a baseline for distribution leak detection and the ability to send alerts and messages to customers. In short, customers will be given the tools and data they need to better plan and "Get to Know Your H20."

The City utilized performance contracting to partner with Siemens, who studied the City's current system and developed a design build program to install the advanced meters. According to Tiehen, the Advanced Water Meter System project will increase the accuracy of meter reads and actual water consumption, which will provide the City with higher revenues without increasing water rates. The additional funding, along with the operational savings, will fund the project over the next 15 years. Additionally, the City will be able to reduce the costs associated with the current meter-reading process.

"The City currently sends out designated employees to manually read meters," said Tiehen. "The automated process will allow us to reduce the cost – both in dollars and time – of reading meters."

Coppell City Council approved the $6.8 million Advanced Water Meter System project at the April 24, 2018 meeting, and the funding was secured as part of the July 24, 2018 Certificate of Obligation issuance. 

Crews will begin installing new meters soon, notifying residents and businesses days in advance with door hangers and other communications. Concurrently, City representatives will begin educating customers on how to use the internet-based dashboard.​

City of Coppell water utility customers will soon begin seeing their water meters replaced as part of the City's Advanced Water Meter System project, a new service enhancement initiative to install advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) throughout the community. The city-wide installation of 13,375 new meters is projected to take 14 months and will impact every home and business in the community.

  5. Will the water meter team need acce​ss to my home?
  6. What will my property look like after the meter has been installed?
  7. Is there anything the resident/business needs to do after their water meter has been replaced?
  8. How does the new meter benefit me?
  9. Why is the City replacing my water meter (or why is the City replacing all the water meters)?
  10. Will I still be able to open the meter box with a standard meter key in order to turn the water off in an emergency?
  11. In older houses that don't already have a check valve, will a check valve be installed along with the new meter?   
  12. Do you have any info on if/when smart gas meters are coming? 
  13. If my bill goes up how do I know it is correct?  
  14. Can I elect to opt out of the new meter project if I do not want a new water meter?​
  15. How can I tell by looking at the meter if I have a leak?
  16. If I check the meter and then check the customer portal, will I see changes in real time?​
  17. Why is my water pressure so high and how do I adjust it to recommended levels?
  18. When will the customer portal be available?​
  19. Will the City lower my water and sewer rates?​​
  20. Will water and sewer rates increase because the City is replacing all meters?​​

Why did my water bill increase?
During the project planning, a random test of sixty-three residential meters, conducted by a third party, revealed that the current meters are registering, on average, about 90% of the water actually used. The test also found that of the sixty-three meters, five me​ters, or 8% of the meters tested, were registering no usage. Since that testing, the City has found that on average, at any given time, there are approximately 700 meters, or 5% of the system's meters, are not registering usage. 

With the more accurate meters, it is very possible that members of the community will receive bills that are higher than statements for a corresponding month in a previous year. It is highly likely that comparing consumption history of the old meter to the new meter will be significantly different for many customers because their meter was not registering all of their water usage. For some, it is possible their meter has not been registering any usage. In both instances, customers can expect to receive a larger bill than they did previously.

It is also possible that customers could receive bills lower than previous if they utilize the customer portal to monitor how much water they are using and adjust their usage. For example, many of us do not realize how much our irrigation system uses or how much water is used when we shower. Reducing the time our irrigation systems run or reducing the length of our showers could have an impact on consumption, resulting in a lower water bill.​

When will my meter be replaced?
Currently, the City is working with the installation team and project manager to establish the replacement timing of each area of town. Each customer will receive a letter in the mail providing information concerning when the water meter team will be installing in their area. Additionally, the City will call, email and text residents who have signed up for NotifyCoppell to inform residents when the water meter team will be in your neighborhood.

Will I be notified before my meter is replaced?
​Yes, you will receive a postcard approximately two weeks before the installation team is working in your neighborhood. If you have signed up for NotifyCoppell​, you will also receive a phone call roughly one week before your meter is replaced. You may contact the Utility Billing Department at 972-304-3695 to verify they have an accurate phone number for you.​ 

How will a resident/business know someone is a member of the water meter team?
The truck used by the water meter team will have a "water meter team" sticker on its door. Team members will be wearing bright yellow shirts with "PMI" on the front left corner of the shirt and will also have a picture ID badge with them. The badge also provides two phone numbers for the citizen to call to confirm the identity of the person. One phone number will contact the Utility Billing number, and the other number connects to the PMI 24-hour line. Water meter team supervisors will be wearing a bright yellow safety vest with "Water Meter Team Supervisor" printed on the back of the vest.

Will the water meter team need ac​cess to my home?
No, no one will need to enter your home. In fact, water team members are not allowed to enter homes.

What will my property look like after the meter has been installed?
The property will be left in the same condition as it was prior to installation. 

Is there anything the resident/business needs to do after their water meter has been replaced?
Residents will find a yellow door hanger on their door notifying them that they received a new water meter. The door hanger provides information concerning steps to take prior to using their water.

If you run a business, the water meter team will coordinate a convenient time to replace each businesses water meter. Each business will be provided with a door hanger when their meter is replaced.

How does the new meter benefit me?
Soon after the meters are installed, customers will have access to an internet-based customer dashboard that can be accessed from a computer, tablet or smartphone. The dashboard or customer portal will provide residents and businesses with access to usage data from their new meters. Residents and businesses will be able to more closely monitor their water consumption and adjust their usage accordingly. In addition, a leak alert can be set that notifies the account holder if the system is detecting a leak at their home or business. The customer can also setup usage alerts which will generate an email when the account registers the usage established by the account holder. In short, customers will be given the tools and data they need to better plan and "Get to Know Your H2O."

This project is the result of listening to our customers. Specifically, the purpose of this project is to provide customers with a water meter system that accurately registers usage, utilizes technology to proactively provide effective and efficient customer service, and provides our customers with easy access to water usage information.

The new system addresses the accuracy concern. During the development and investigation phase of the water meter project, a random test of existing meters found meters to be registering approximately 90% of actual water consumption. As a result, some customers were not being charged for their full water usage. The new meters are expected to register with an accuracy of at least 98.5% of actual consumption. With improved accuracy of the new meter, customers’ bills will more precisely reflect charges for actual water usage.

The new meter system will enhance the customer experience by allowing staff to provide proactive rather than reactive customer service. Currently, staff only sees how much water a customer uses once a month when the meter is read for billing purposes. The new system will allow staff to monitor the system for potential leaks and unusual consumption throughout the month. Staff will be able to research situations and contact a customer sooner than they can under the old system. In addition, staff has no way to answer consumption questions from customers who have the older analog meters. Customers with the radio meters require staff to go to the meter to download consumption information.

The new system provides staff with the ability to access information for all customers who call with questions. The new meter system also helps customers gain deeper insight and understanding on how and when they use water. The new system provides customers with access to a Customer Portal where they can:

  • Set daily usage alerts – alerts you when consumption is more than a given amount in a day.
  • Set billing cycle usage alerts – alerts you when consumption is more than a given amount in a billing cycle.
  • Set vacation usage alerts – alerts you if usage occurs when you are away on vacation.
  • See how much water is used each hour, each day, or each month.
  • Control the water portion of their Utility Bill through knowledge of when and how they are using water.
  • Click a link to pay their bill online.
  • Receive messages and alerts from the City.​

Why is the City replacing my water meter (or why is the City replacing all the water meters)?
Currently, the City uses three types of metering systems and multiple meter brands that range in age from three years to over 10 years. This variability poses operational challenges for City staff. The Advanced Meter System project will include one type of system and one brand for all meters, which will better equip City staff to maintain operations, manage inventory, and provide all customers with the same level of customer service. 

Will I still be able to open the meter box with a standard meter key in order to turn the water off in an emergency?

Yes, a standard meter key (pictured below) will open the lid and can be purchased at Ace Hardware, Home Depot or Lowe's. Customers are also welcome to stop by Town Center, 255 Parkway Blvd., during normal business hours to view a display water meter, box, and lid, and request a demonstration of how to use the key. Please note: the meter box lid has a wire that connects the transformer mounted in the lid to the meter. It is important to be careful when removing the lid so the wire does not get disconnected.​

Standard Water Meter Key​

In older houses that don't already have a check valve, will a check valve be installed along with the new meter? 
No.​​

Do you have any info on if/when smart gas meters are coming? 
Currently, it is unknown.

If my bill goes up how do I know it is correct? 
The advance water meter system brings improved accuracy as compared to the current water meters. During the development and investigation phase of this project, existing meters that were tested were found to only be registering approximately 90% of actual water used and some were registering no usage. The new automated readers are expected to register at least 98% of actual water usage.

To verify meter accuracy, every meter shipped by Sensus​ is tested for accuracy according to American Waterworks Standards before leaving the factory. All test results are attached to the meter to ensure accuracy and quality. The City has also contracted with Siemens to randomly select and test water meters each year to determine if the meters are accurately reading usage. The meters will be sent by Siemens to a third party for testing with the results shared with the City Council.

Can I elect to opt out of the new meter project if I do not want a new water meter? ​
No, all meters will be replaced with the new advanced water meters. The advanced water meter project provides:

  1. Standardization​
      • One-meter brand, one-meter reading method, and one method to populate the billing system which will create efficiencies for the Public Works employees who are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure
      • Reduces labor cost related to obtaining usage information necessary for preparing monthly bills.
      • Simplify the billing process since only one billing import method will be needed. ​ ​
  2. Customer Service​​​
      • Currently, we provide reactive customer service because we are not able to see water usage until the meters are read each month. The new system will allow Utility Billing (UB) to provide proactive customer service rather than reactive to all customers. Instead of obtaining usage once a month, UB will have access to usage each day. This will allow us to generate reports concerning leaks and unusual usage, so UB can notify customers who can then address a possible leak or rogue irrigation system sooner rather than later. ​
  3. Improved Conservation Efforts
      • ​Currently, customers have no way to view their usage and make adjustments throughout the month to control their consumption and ultimately their water bill.  The new system will help customers gain deeper insight and understanding on how and when they use water as they will have access to a customer portal where they can set:​
            • ​Daily usage alerts — alerts you to when you are using more than a given amount in a day.​ 
            • Billing cycle usage alerts — alerts you when you are using more than a given amount in a billing cycle. 
            • ​​​Vacation usage alerts — if usage occurs when you are away on vacation​
How can I tell by looking at the meter if I have a leak?
The meter data display looks similar to the numbers on a car odometer and has nine digits. The digits on the meter represent the number of gallons consumed down to the 1/100th of a gallon. The last two digits after the decimal can be used as leak indicators to detect continuous water flow through the meter.

Unlike old analog water meters, the new Sensus meters do not have a “STAR” in the center to indicate a leak. As reflected in the picture, the new meters have two digits to the right of the decimal. The furthermost digit indicates 10ths of gallons and is considered to be the leak indicator. 

If the last digit is moving, then water is flowing. Low flow would be indicated by this digit moving slowly when all valves are closed in the irrigation system and the residence.

Customers will also be able to see how much water is used each hour, each day or each month on the customer portal. Usage alerts can also be set by customers who access the customer portal.​

If I check the meter and then check the customer portal, will I see changes in real time?
No, the meter will send updates to the customer portal periodically throughout the day. ​


​Why is my water pressure so high and how do I adjust it to recommended levels?
There are properties in Coppell that experience water pressure in the 80-95 pounds per square inch (PSI) range. The pressure in the vast majority of the water system is less than 80 PSI. Residents can reduce the pressure by hiring a plumber to install a pressure reducing valve behind their water meter. If you have questions about the water pressure at your residents, please contact the Public Works Department at 972-462-5150.​


​When will the customer portal be available?
The customer portal will be rolled out within four to six weeks of a neighborhood receiving new meters. The City will provide information on how to sign-up for the portal, how to set alerts, and how to maneuver in the system and interpret the data provided. There will be how-to sessions at various City locations, how-to videos, and step by step instructions on the City’s web-page. Information concerning how to access the portal will also be mailed to customers as the portal is made available to their neighborhood.​


​Will the City lower my water and sewer rates?
Rates are determined each year after projecting consumption levels and reviewing the rates supplied by Dallas Water Utilities and Trinity River Authority. The impact of the new water meter system on consumption will need to be evaluated along with the impact of rate increases from both entities. The City can no longer absorb increases from those entities through an increase in the number of customers as the City has moved from a growth to maintenance stage.​


​Will water and sewer rates increase because the City is replacing all meters?​
No. City staff did cite the uncertainty of the impact of the new water meters on customer consumption as a reason for not increasing rates this year. The installation of the new advanced water meter system provides more accurate meters which could impact consumption. Some customers may experience higher bills because their old meter had slowed and was not measuring all consumption. However, other customers may use the new customer portal to monitor and reduce consumption, which will lower the water bill.

In addition to the uncertainty regarding the impact of more accurate meters on customer consumption on revenue, staff evaluates the impact of rate increases from Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) and Trinity River Authority (TRA) on the cost of operations. Historically, the City absorbed rate increases from both entities due to Coppell’s growth and expanding customer base. Coppell has moved from the growth to maintenance stage and can no longer absorb increases from those entities, which resulted in the rate increases implemented each of the past three years and the anticipated increase for this year. However, staff cited the following reasons to support why a rate increase would not be necessary to cover costs related to DWU and TRA.

  1. Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) settled its legal dispute with the Sabine River Authority (SRA). The impact of the settlement is that the rate increases from DWU to the City of Coppell were less than previously provided.
  2. Trinity River Authority’s (TRA) rate increase was slightly less than they originally provided to the City.

Staff concluded that the current rates, based on a similar consumption by our customers, should generate the necessary revenue to cover the operating costs of the Water and Sewer Fund as well as provide funding for the infrastructure needs of the water and sewer system. The primary funding source for the water and sewer system is water and sewer rates. The water and sewer fund does not receive any funding from property or sales tax revenue. Therefore, rates are set at a level that provide the necessary revenue to cover the cost of operations and maintenance of the water and sewer infrastructure.​

​​Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.

--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution. ​

​Stormwater Management Program


Responsibilities

The City of Coppell's Stormwater Management Program is committed to educate the public, contractors and developers on the storm water system and regulations, while promoting environmental stewardship. As a vital element in the City of Coppell overall water resource management strategy, our mission is to efficiently implement a stormwater program that effectively addresses flood control and run-off quality issues while emphasizing the elimination of non-point pollution at the source.​

What Is Stormwater?

Stormwater discharges are generated by runoff from land and impervious areas during rainfall. Surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and streets prevent stormwater from naturally soaking into the ground.​

Why Is Stormwater Quality Important?

Stormwater can carry litter, sand, bacteria, oil and other chemicals as it flows to our streams, rivers, ponds and wetlands. Runoff from paved surfaces may contribute large amounts of polluted storm water. Cleaning up stormwater not only benefits our neighborhoods and town, it also benefits the entire network of water bodies and land that make up our watershed.

What Agency Regulates Stormwater Quality?

In City of Coppell, stormwater quality is regulated at the federal level by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state level by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and at the local level by the City of Coppell Environmental Health Division.

As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Individual homes do not need an NPDES permit; however, some industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters.

What Is The Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System?

 In 1987, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to require a comprehensive nationwide program for addressing polluted storm water. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is the resulting program. The state assumed the authority to administer the NPDES program in Texas and the Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) is the resulting program.

What Does The TPDES Permit Require Of The City Of Coppell?

 The City of Coppell has to develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). The goals of the Plan are to:

  • Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent possible
  • Protect water quality
  • Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act
To view the current storm water management plan, click here.

What Minimum Control Measures (MCM's) Will The City Of Coppell's Program Include?

Per the TCEQ, TPDES General Permit Number TXR040000, the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) must provide a listing and description of best management practices (BMP's) developed to prevent stormwater pollution to the maximum extent practicable. BMP's are required to be developed to satisfy five stormwater quality minimum control measures:​

  1. Public Education, Outreach and Involvement
  2. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
  3. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
  4. Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
  5. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations

Members of the Design-Pre-construction Management Team will be on hand to outline the latest developments and answer your questions. DART, in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Railroad​ Administration (FRA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the impacts and benefits of passenger rail service on the 26-mile long Cotton Belt Corridor from DFW International Airport to Plano. 

Presentations during these meetings will include: 

  • Updated alignment drawings showing track configurations, final grade separations (bridges) and station locations per the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS); 
  • An overview of the Design-Builder's early design and construction schedule; 
  • A description of pre-construction equipment and processes to be used along the alignment;
  • A general summary of project information; 
  • Identification of contacts for FAQs and community concerns.

Cotton Belt Corridor Field Work Mid-February – June 2019​

​Dallas Area Rapid Transit's Design-Builder for the Cotton Belt corridor will begin their pre-design field activities along the 26-mile alignment in February 2019. This effort will allow the Design-Builder to advance DART's design that formed the basis of the Final Environmental Impacts Statement and will validate the engineering assumptions that inform their ongoing early project planning and design efforts. This activity will be mostly conducted in and along the railroad right of way, with occasional movement of workers and small equipment on and off of public grade crossings. The nature of the field work being performed includes: 
  • Pre-Construction Photos of Existing Conditions ​
  • Surveying and 3D Scanning of the Existing Corridor 
  • Investigation of Existing Utilities 
  • Geotechnical Soils Sampling 

​Any need to access private property will be prohibited unless otherwise coordinated with the property Owner in advance of the work. Most activities will take place during the daytime hours and will involve minor surveying and construction equipment such as GPS instruments, tripods, service vehicles, pickup trucks, small tools and light duty drill rigs. ​

About the Cotton Belt Corridor Project​

​​​​​​​​The DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project is a 26-mile line that will extend from DFW Airport to Shiloh Road in Plano and ​ traverse seven cities, including Coppell. The Cotton Belt Project’s primary purpose is to provide passenger rail connections and service that will improve mobility, accessibility and system linkages to major employment, population and activity centers in the northern part of the DART Service Area. The Cotton Belt Project would interface with three DART LRT lines: The Red Line in Richardson/Plano, the Green Line in Carrollton and the Orange Line at DFW Airport. Also at DFW Airport the project would connect to Fort Worth Transit Authority's TEX Rail Regional Rail Line to Fort Worth and the DFW Airport Skylink People Mover. 

The City of Coppell hosted two public meetings on March 1 and March 9, 2017 to provide an update on the planned DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project. For more information about the background and development of the project, watch the March 9, 2017 meeting or view the March 9, 2017 presentation

​The City of Coppell is doing what we can to influence DART to the best interest of the Coppell citizenry​. ​This includes the adoption of a resolution on June 13, 2017 by the Mayor and City Council stating: 

"The City of Coppell fully supports DART Board redesign and realignment of the Cotton Belt Rail line throughout Coppell from Luna Road westward to Freeport Parkway, which would incorporate a Southern reconfiguration to provide a station in the Northlake/Cypress Water Campus subject to grade separation, quiet zones, sound walls and trail by rail segments along the entire route through Coppell."  ​

Read the entire resolution​.
