SUBMETER
PROGRAM
General
information for a customer inquiring about a submeter
1.
Outside water may be metered for sewer abatement. The
customer is responsible for buying and installing the meter. A new meter can be
purchased from a hardware or plumbing supply store at a cost of approximately
$100.00. Customer can check local water districts; some refurbish and sell used
meters for approximately $25.00. The measurement on the meter should read in
cubic feet. Another option would be to buy a meter on the internet.
2. The homeowner may install the meter or
choose a plumber to install it. No permit is necessary. The meter must be installed permanently to
the line feeding the outside faucet or faucets. The dial must point skyward for
an accurate reading. If more than one outside spigot is utilized it is
preferable that they both be measured by one submeter. If installing the meter
with the dial pointed skyward creates a problem reading the meter and a mirror
may be used
3. It is the homeowners responsibility to
call the meter reading to Bangor WWTP quarterly to receive credit. The
homeowner can phone 992-4478 and leave their name, address, sewer account
number and meter reading and their account will be credited.
4. The meter must be inspected and registered by Bangor WWTP to receive credit. To arrange an appointment for inspection call WWTP 992-4478.
