As it stands right now the only way to place water meters at the correct home (geographical location) is by getting a meter list from the City or Municipality your working with. Once you get a list usually sent as a Excel file. Next you have to search each address on google and that could be thousands of address's, so you could imagine the amount of time it takes t o do that. My idea is that there is some kind of tool or something that would read my excel file (whether I would have to have it in a certain format or not) find all the address that are valid and place a meter at that location. If something like that is possible it would say countless hours of time.

This type of functionality exists with our geocoding GP tools. Have you tried the Geocode Addresses geoprocessing tool? Give this tool a look, it might help you quite a bit in the workflow.
