Upgrading Water Meters with ARPA Funding

A letter from City Administrator Emily Bausch is being mailed this week.  In part, it states “The City of Plattsmouth is investing in a significant upgrade to its water metering system that will bring numerous benefits to our community. This effort will include replacing approximately 2,300 existing water meters and/or necessary radio communicators with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). This investment aims to revolutionize how we manage water usage, enhance customer service for you, and promote transparency in our water operations.

“The implementation of AMI will eliminate the need for manual meter reading, freeing up valuable resources and personnel that can be redirected to other essential tasks…. [This project will provide] you with easy access to detailed information about your water usage patterns, allowing real-time monitoring of water usage trends and prompt identification of potential leaks or inefficiencies.”

A few key points include:

• Construction will occur between January 2025 and December 2025.
• The contractor will schedule the installation a minimum of 7 days prior to the work beginning.
• There will be no charge to you for this installation service.
• This work is mandatory for all services connected to Plattsmouth municipal water.

Welcome to Plattsmouth!

Founded in 1854, we are one of Nebraska’s oldest cities. Plattsmouth is rich in history and culture. Situated at the confluence of the Missouri and Platte rivers, Plattsmouth has a place in the discovery of the west. The Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery passed the mouth of the Platte River, just north of what is now Main Street Plattsmouth, on July 21, 1804. Our City seal reads “Honor the Past, Plan for the Future.”

Plattsmouth proudly offers a full range of excellent city services, including police; volunteer fire and rescue; public works which includes water, sewer, streets, parks, and grounds/facilities maintenance. So that we are prepared for the future, we recently expanded the fire and rescue department with a $1.7 million expansion that includes meeting rooms, a kitchen, and sleeper rooms. Our new $5.7 million Senior and Community Center serves more than 1,000 local area citizens who visit more than 12,000 times per week. Twin Rivers Water Park, Rhylander Park, Garfield Park, Memorial Park, and all other parks/recreation facilities and our excellent library add services and lifestyle qualities so that Plattsmouth’s citizens and our visitors have superior places to live, work, and play. In 2011, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman presented the Showcase Community Award to Plattsmouth for outstanding efforts in the areas of economic development and community revitalization.

We encourage you to use this website to learn about Plattsmouth and to communicate with us.
