Over recent months, we have noticed a rise in damaged water meter antennas
at residents’ homes. Most often this damage is caused when someone
inadvertently mows over the meter box with a lawn mower. These antennas
wirelessly transmit data to the Utility Billing department, allowing them to read
your meter and accurately track your water usage.
When a water meter, antenna or box is damaged, it needs to be replaced
immediately. If your meter, antenna or box is replaced due to damage, you will
see a fee added to your water bill to cover the cost of replacement.
To avoid extra fees from a damaged water meter, antenna or box it is
recommended that you use a weed eater, rather than a lawnmower, to trim the
grass around the water meter.
