Protecting Your Meter

Please Protect Your Water Meter

If a water meter is damaged, the person who has the account with BJWSA may be held responsible for repairs or replacement. The electronic equipment installed in the meter boxes can easily withstand weather and other environmental conditions. However, the meter equipment is sensitive and cannot withstand tinkering, tampering or mishandling. In fact, the system alerts us if the meter has been tampered with since the last reading. If you are aware of any meter tampering, please contact customer service.

Always keep grass, gravel, mulch, pine straw or other landscape medium off hydrants and meter boxes. Beacon meters rely on cell service, and shrubs block the signal.
