Water Meter Information
General Information
- Water meters are replaced only if existing meter stops functioning. However, the town will not cover the cost of replacing the meter if it breaks due to customer negligence.
- If contractors or plumbers are doing work on the interior water lines, the town can turn the water off at the curb stop. To do so please contact Mike Stein (Water Plant Lead Operator) at (306) 435-7062. Give Mike Stein at least 24 hours’ notice to make sure he is available. The town will do their very best to make someone is available in emergency situations.
