Water Meter Upgrades

To help ensure the accuracy of our water meters we must periodically change them, and the meter serving your property is due to be changed. SO has contracted MeterTekUtility, Inc. to upgrade our meter reading system. There is no cost to have this work performed but the installation will require access to your basement or utility room.

SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY: Call 800.717.0974 between 8am - 4pm, Mon to Fri or by visiting metertek.net/meter-appointment.
