Meter Replacement Project for Residents on Town Water

We are making improvements to our water infrastructure, but need your help. The water meter in your basement has done its job but has seen better days - it is old, unreliable, often inaccurate and sometimes faulty. The town recently received funds to purchase replacement meters.

The new meters are 'smart' meters - not only can they can be read electronically, but they can also provide early alerts to potential problems. For example, they can detect when a water line is freezing, or when (and where) there is a leak (remember this winter's 'water discoloration problem'? It was the result of a residential water leak went undetected for many weeks - if a smart meter had been installed, we would have been able to locate the leak quickly, minimize property damage, and save the town hundreds of thousands of gallons of water).

But we need your help - contact us to set up an installation appointment, when someone will be home to let us in. The upgrade takes 30 - 45 minutes, and there is no cost to you.

To schedule an appointment, send an email with your name, address, and phone number to Chris.hughes@cavendishvt.org We will then call you and schedule a day and time.

Thank you, the Water Department (Ron and Chris)
