Important Facts

What to expect When upgrading your water meter

Additional Information

Check Your Valve(s): This is an appropriate time to update old shutoffs.

It’s possible that, during meter replacement, an old or damaged water shutoff valve can break. If this occurs, repairs are the homeowner’s responsibility, not the contractor’s.

Prior to scheduling the installation of your new meter, it is highly recommended that property owners check their existing shutoff valve for proper operation. If the valve is not functioning properly, repairs must be made prior to the installation.

Gate valves (left) are more likely to break during shutoff: Consider updating. Lever-handled ball-valves (right) are less likely to break after prolonged disuse.

Information Regarding The Water Meter Replacement

The property owner or a designated representative 18 years of age or older is required to be present.
Please keep pets contained during installation.
Make sure the water meter is unobstructed and accessible. The technician will need to operate the water shut-off valve(s) and will need to remove and replace the meter with both hands.
If HydroCorp technicians determine that the water meter cannot be replaced during the appointment because of other problems such as (a) existing leaks, (b) direct connections with no coupling, (c) imminent failure of deteriorated piping, (d) no accessibility because of obstruction by hot water heater or other object, or (e) any other reason, the meter replacement will have to be rescheduled after the problem has been corrected.
