Water Meter Reading Schedule
[back to top]
The Utility Public Works crews conduct the water (potable and non-potable) meter readings at scheduled dates each month. Each month, the meter reading crews begin on the east side of the City and work towards the west side, including those west-side unincorporated areas where City utility services are provided.
Meter reading of the entire City takes three days. The first two days are for radio transmittal readings of meters. The third and fourth day is exclusively used for visiting locations where radio reads were not picked up in the previous two days (a small percentage of the utility customer accounts).
