MT. VERNON — The Mt. Vernon City Council approved replacement of the city’s roughly 68-hundred water meters in August of 2018. Jonathon Younger with the Public Works Department was on-hand at Monday’s meeting to give an update on the replacement process.

Younger says they’ve seen some billing amounts go up here and there during their work.

The original replacement estimate accounted for 50% of the old meters needing repair, however Younger says thus far, only 1% have needed any sort of repairs.
