Meter Replacement Project

Meridian Service Metropolitan District has initiated a program to replace residential water meters that are approaching the end of their useful life. The new meters are upgraded, easy to use, and come with enhanced features—such as leak detection and improved water usage tracking—to help you monitor your consumption more effectively.  Meter replacement is provided at no cost for residents!

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When will my neighborhood be scheduled for installation? 

We’re currently completing approximately 300 – 400 meter installations each month. Once your neighborhood is selected, we’ll begin the scheduling process and notify you with the next steps.

How will I be notified when it's time to schedule 

Approximately two weeks before installation begins in your neighborhood, we will send a letter that your neighborhood is next along with information about the EyeOnWater (EOW) system. When the time comes to start scheduling the installation for your neighborhood, you will received a hand-delivered notice (a door hanger placed on or near your front door) with instructions on how to schedule your appointment.

What is EOW (Eye on Water)? 

BEACON® EyeOnWater is a tool that gives you real-time access to your water usage. It features easy-to-read consumption graphs and customizable leak alerts, helping you monitor and manage your water use more effectively—anytime, from anywhere.

Will I receive additional reminders? 

Yes. If you haven’t scheduled your appointment by the date provided in your initial notice, we’ll hand-deliver a one-time courtesy reminder. This reminder will outline the scheduling deadline and explain the next steps if you do not schedule by that time.

How long will the installation take? 

We’re proud to offer a streamlined installation experience. You’ll schedule a specific appointment time — no long waiting windows. Each installation takes only about 15 minutes, and our technician will arrive promptly at your scheduled time, not within a vague 2 – 3 hour window like many other companies.

How do I schedule an appointment once I’ve received my notice that my neighborhood is selected for the meter upgrade? 

The notice will contain a QR code.  You will scan the QR code, which will take you directly to the scheduling website.   This is where you will choose a day and time available for your meter upgrade appointment.

What If I am having trouble using the QR code? 

No problem. Just send an email to info@meridianservice.org requesting a scheduling link. Be sure to include your name and address so we can assist you promptly.

Will I receive a reminder of my scheduled appointment? 

Yes! You’ll receive both a text and an email reminder24 hours and again 2 hours before your scheduled appointment.

Does someone need to be home during the installation? 

Yes. An individual 18 years or older must be present at the time of installation.

Where is the meter located? 

The water meter is typically located in the basement, near the furnace and water heater. Please ensure the area is clear and easily accessible for our technicians prior to your appointment.

Will there be cameras used during the installation? 

Yes. For safety, documentation, and quality control, our technicians wear body cameras during installations. This helps ensure transparency and accountability throughout the process.

What does the District do with the camera footage and who has access to it? 

The camera footage is transferred daily from the devices to an external hard drive stored securely in a locked locaiton at the district office and never stored on the Cloud.  The video is only viewed if necessary and no one can request access to view the footage without approval of the General Manager and with valid, documented justification. The footage will be securely destroyed in two years. 

Why does the District use body cameras? 

Refer to Statement Regarding Use of Body Cameras During In-Home Visits at top right of this page.

What happens if I don’t schedule after receiving the notices? 

This is a required upgrade for all Meridian Service MD customers. If you do not schedule your appointment while we are in your neighborhood, you will be put on a waiting list. We cannot guarantee when we will get back to install in your neighborhood, and you may have to wait until the end of the project. Please note that you  will not be able to enjoy the features of EOW until we have replaced your meter. So, we encourage you to schedule your appointment promptly to avoid delays.

How can I get in touch or ask questions? 

Feel free to reach out via email at info@meridianservice.org.

Can I leave feedback after the installation? 

Absolutely! We would love to hear from you. You will receive a text message requesting your feedback. You can also leave a review at https://maps.app.goo.gl/qJhu4tbopZSUn2BK9 

Why are we excited about this meter upgrade? 

This upgrade brings modern technology to your home that will give you real time usage patterns and the ability to set water leak alerts.

What is your goal with this project? 

Our goal is to make this process as simple, easy, and seamless as possible for every resident.
