The City never approved the 1-1/2” meter installation. As Far as I know, we are still using a 2” meter that’s approved in
the plans. Also on page 4150 in the Standard Details, that’s not a choice, that’s the setup for either the 1-1/2” or 2”
meters. The last conversation that we had about the meter was using existing meter for the domestic, but the plan says
to use that meter for irrigation. I can’t tell you to proceed with an install of another meter.

Hello, Mr. Marion
Please see the note below and let me know if we can proceed with the 1 ½” water meter installation.
The City of Coppell give us the option of using 2” or 1 ½” water meter see Coppell Standards Construction details page
4150
We purchased the 1 ½”meter required by the Project's Mechanical Engineer.
The problem of changing the 1 ½’ water meter for 2” water meter would be that we would impact the cost, because we
would have to pay $ 3800 extra for a 2” water meter.
Appreciate your help and support for this issue.
Respectfully

Koby,
Per plans, we installed a 2” domestic tap and service for a proposed 2” domestic meter. As you’re aware the meter
changed or reduced to a 1.5” at the owners request; however we now have the set up for a 2” meter that is of course
larger than what is required for a 1.5” meter. We can use reducers and fittings to make this work; however the city
usually (especially on new construction) want everything to be a match for the proposed meter which means we would
have to change out the meter set to a 1.5” to make it work. I need to find out if the city will allow us to reduce down
inside the meter box from a 2” to 1.5” and make the meter work as it sets now. If so, no problem, if not, then we’ll have
to write a CO to cover the cost of the installation to accommodate the 1.5” meter.
Thanks,
