When landscaping or mowing your property, please do not cover water meters with mulch, shrubs or plants, and avoid driving over water meters with lawn equipment. Meter box lids contain a communication device used for meter readings commonly called a "mushroom cap". Customers may be responsible for replacement costs if this equipment is damaged.
In addition, covering meter boxes with landscaping can interfere with communication to our system and prevent necessary meter maintenance. If you experience a leak or other water-related emergency, obstructed meter access can make it extremely difficult to respond quickly.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.
