Water Meters

updated: Thursday, March 08, 2012

Meter readers carry identification and come once each quarter to read your meter. Most water meters are located on the outside of homes.

For the few homes which still have indoor meters, there is an additional $2 charge for reading an indoor meter. To avoid the $2 charge, you can have a radio transmitter installed for no charge. This enables meter readers to get a quick, accurate meter reading without entering your home.

If the City finds that your indoor meter is not working, you will be contacted so the City can repair or replace the meter. Meter replacement is a free service. If you receive a notice about a faulty meter, please take a few minutes to schedule an appointment for replacement. Failure to grant access for meter repair or replacement is subject to a fine. Replacing a faulty meter will ensure you are billed only for the amount of water you actually use.
