(GILBERT, AZ.) – This week drew new concerns and important updates to the spotlight.
An update provided by Kimley-Horn, the consulting firm contracted by the Town of Gilbert to perform an audit on the town’s new water meters from Mueller, was presented at the Mar. 3 regular council meeting.
The update included a progress report on the audit by Kimley-Horn’s Project Manager Tyler Kay and Public Engagement Representative Paige Helfinstine. The team stated that the audit is roughly 75 percent complete at this time, and final results are expected to be announced on Apr. 7 of this year.

The goal of the audit is to cross-examine data from 2025 to determine whether meters and their radios are measuring water and transmitting data correctly and to assess whether the town’s utility systems were billing correctly, as well as ensure current meters are functioning properly through rigorous lab testing.
