Annual Water Meter Maintenance Program Underway
The City of Longmont conducts an annual maintenance program to replace water meters in homes on a scheduled cycle. These replacements ensure measuring accuracy and are completed at no cost to the property owner. When a meter inside a home is due for replacement, the owner/tenant will receive a letter with directions for scheduling a maintenance appointment. The City’s contractor – Utility Sales and Service – will then arrive at the appointment to complete the work. For more information, visit bit.ly/water-meter-maintenance or call 303-651-8416.
