Electronic water meters could be in the yards of every residence in Fort Worth within five years.

The Fort Worth water department is working on a five-year design, study and phase-in program to replace the more than 240,000 residential and commercial water meters with those read by a radio or wireless signal.

Customers potentially can look at their water usage daily and learn to conserve.
