When a customer is considering the installation of a water meter, having never used one before, they have a lot of questions about how the meter is going to be installed, where, how they use it and how to pay bills. The experts from water meter installation companies can provide a simple breakdown or FAQ for utility companies to provide to their customers.
Who Supplies the Water Meter?
A customer’s initial worry is that they might need to go and purchase a water meter and then arrange for the installation. You can set their mind at ease by informing them that the utility company will be making all the arrangements and they will be using specialist water meter installation companies to carry out all the work professionally.
They may ask questions about whether their own licensed plumber and carry out the installation and it is important that the utility companies have all the answers ready to make the whole process easy to understand, for the customer.
Which Water Supplies Are Available?
Your customers will need to know whether you are going to be supplying a separate drinking water facility as well as a grey water recycled water service, for feeding the lawn and the plants in your yard and for flushing toilets in the bathroom.
Water meter installation companies know the best places to install their meter so that the actual meter forms the link between the water main and your home or other property. The actual meter will be above ground so that it is easy to access to read the meter or for quick repairs.
Where your property is a collection of individual units, it may be possible to install water meters for each unit. Nevertheless, where there is a shared water facility for the laundry room and perhaps for the yard, separate arrangements will need to be made with the owners of the property to ensure that the water can be billed efficiently.
For business properties, the positioning of the water meter presents the same complications as for homeowners and that have been met thousands of times before, so a solution is always available.
Where a water meter needs to be moved, customers will need to contact the utility company to make certain arrangements so that the delivery of water and accurate billing is not compromised.
Early discussions between the water meter installation companies and the utility providers will ensure that customers are fully briefed about the changes from their old water system to the installation of new water meters.
