Meter valves are required on every installation and are the
responsibility of the owner or consumer. When a meter is changed or
repaired by Department personnel on any service that does not have
a properly functioning meter valve one may, at the discretion of the
Commissioner, be installed by the Department and the fee for such
device shall be billed to the owner as part of the next water bill.
Meter valves will only be installed when Department personnel are
on the premises for a meter change or repair. No special trips will
be made for meter valve installation, as this is the owner's
responsibility. Once installed, the new valve becomes the sole responsibility
of the owner.
