With low temperatures hitting Centerville this past week, now's the perfect time to check on your water meter and other equipment to make sure it's properly protected from inclement weather.
Utility customers are responsible for all service line and equipment past the water main. This includes, but is not limited to, the valve before the meter, the meter, service line, and your stop box. With cold temperatures likely to stick around, do your part to ensure your meter is protected from freezing. Meters that become cracked, begin leaking, etc. due to freezing or other negligence will be replaced at the expense of the property owner.
Not sure what your meter looks like? Pictured below is a Sensus iPERL 5/8" meter, which is commonly found in residential homes.
