Stay on the Mark – Keep Your Meters Accessible
It’s meter-marking time again! Starting September 3, LPC meter readers will put black marks on the sidewalks to show where the meter pits are. This helps them find your meter in the colder months when autumn leaves or winter snow have covered it. Help them out by clearing off your meter when needed – with about 72,000 electric and water meters to read every month, every second counts!
