The City of Denton is gearing up for a major upgrade to its water infrastructure by replacing every meter citywide with new technology. With the implementation of the new AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), customers will move from manual meters to an automated system that provides constant access to daily usage data, making it easier to spot leaks early and make informed decisions about water consumption.

Meter replacements are set to begin this summer and are expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

Ever think about what it takes to keep our neighborhood clean? It’s more than just the trucks you see on your street; it’s also the hardworking team behind the scenes making sure those trucks stay moving.

That’s why we are so excited about the upgrades to our Fleet Services: Solid Waste Maintenance Shop! This revamped space makes repairs more efficient for our technicians, meaning fewer unexpected delays and more trucks staying on schedule.

Here's how these upgrades are already making a difference:

📌The new location on the Solid Waste and Recycling Campus eliminates extra travel time and keeps repairs moving.
📌 Expanded shop bays allow crews to work on more trucks at once and get them back on the road sooner.
📌 Adjusting repair hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. allows trucks to be serviced before and after trucks begin servicing their routes instead of during.
📌 Technicians can now work fully indoors, helping them to avoid weather-related impacts on their repair timelines.

At the end of the day, supporting the technicians who keep our fleet moving means more efficient repairs and more reliable service for Denton. 🚛✨
