Why relocate water meters?
Crews relocate water meters from inside a premise to an exterior meter pit to allow swifter access, especially important in emergencies.

Why do customers no longer need to allow strangers into their home for meter testing purposes?
Customers no longer need to allow strangers access into their home for meter testing purposes because this will be now done outside the home. This is important because there have been instances of imposters posing as water utility personnel seeking to gain entry to customer homes.
How long does it take to restore a meter pit?
The meter pit location will initially be restored temporarily. Complete restoration to restore areas disturbed by this work typically occurs within 1-3 months, weather permitting.
Where is the meter pit located?
The exterior pit, housing the meter, will be located between the curb and side walk, behind the sidewalk, or in the sidewalk. The selection of the meter pit location is typically determined by where the municipality has expressed a preference, as well as actual field conditions such as buried underground utilities, available space or practicality.
Can a meter leak?
Meters can sometimes leak and cause interior home damage and customer inconvenience. This can, in some cases, impact homeowner’s insurance. Positioning meters outside the home eliminates that potential for risk.
