KINGMAN – The City of Kingman’s Public Works Department will begin a grant-funded project to install 3,500 new water meters in the Butler and New Kingman/Butler area. This infrastructure improvement will modernize the city’s water system by enabling automated meter readings, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and service reliability for residents.
The project will start on Monday, November 10, at the alley between East Butler Avenue and East Neal Avenue near Patsy Drive, and will progress throughout the area over the next 206 days, with completion anticipated by May 30, 2026. Crews will begin pre-digging meter boxes starting next week and continuing through the first week of December. During this phase, no meters will be replaced. Meter exchanges are scheduled to begin the first week of December.
As part of the installation process, temporary water service interruptions may occur. Impacted residents will receive door hanger notifications at least one week in advance. In most cases, water service will be disrupted for no more than 15 minutes. However, if crews identify unexpected infrastructure concerns, such as aging pipes requiring repairs, the duration may be extended to address necessary improvements.
This project, funded through a secured grant, allows the City of Kingman to modernize water infrastructure without additional costs to residents. The transition to automated meter readings will enhance operational efficiency and ensure more precise water usage data.
