AGENDA ITEM:
Update on Supply Chain Disruptions of Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU) for Meters
Date: June 1, 2023
BACKGROUND:
MXU is a radio signal device which permits off-site meter reading via radio signals. Sensus
USA, Inc. (Sensus) notified staff that MXU's for meters are delayed in production at this
time. They estimate a 12-month lead time for available MXU's. CCUA is searching for
alternate means to cover minimum needs for new installations and critical replacements.
Due to delays receiving MXU's, staff will manually read up to 2,000 meters per month to
accurately bill customers.
co We are entering into the active time of year with people moving. Our current 6-month
srolling average for setting new MXU's calculates to 117 per month. There will be an
o additional cost for staffing and fuel due to manual reads of meters. Additionally, when
c MXU's become available, staff will resume installation and programming of these units.

cc As we navigate through these unusual times, we remain committed to keeping an open line
of communication with you.
