Handbook of Texas Online. Retrieved on April 4, 2010.〕 Population in 2010 was listed as 4660 residents.In June 2012, Meadows Place received an award from Keep Texas Beautiful for a water reuse project that culminated in a beautiful new lake in the center of the city which, in addition to recreation, is used for irrigation of most of the city’s parks land and baseball complex. So dramatic was the transformation, Meadows Place was asked to make a Poster Presentation at the 28th annual Water ReUse Symposium in Denver Colorado. The presentation – No City is Too Small to Receive Benefits from Water Reuse met with such acclaim they were invited to share their story at an international water convention. Hundreds of people from the US, Canada, Mexico – even Sweden and Norway, have come to see how such a small city with such limited resources could bring such a project to fruition. In 2013 Meadows Place became the first city in Fort Bend County to fully convert to radio read "Smart" water meters which send data directly from the consumers yard to meter reading software housed in the utility department. This allows the city to help homeowners monitor usage on a 24-hour-a-day basis and automatically posts alerts for possible leaks based on past usage history. Homeowners appreciate the accuracy and the information. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meadows Place, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
