What type of water meter does the city use?

The City of Melissa uses a Turbine Meter made by Master Meter. A water meter is a mechanical device that tracks usage flowing through it. Water meters are considered "Smart Meters" when used alongside an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. In and of itself, meters are just mechanical measuring devices.
