The Steamboat Springs Water District is replacing customers’ old water meters to minimize water loss.
“It is a mandatory requirement to have qualifying meters replaced during this project,” said Distribution and Collection Manager Michelle Carr in a statement. “Water meters, like any equipment, wear out and meter technology constantly evolves, necessitating replacement.”
The city is replacing water meters that are three years or older to make sure all water meters are enabling efficient water management, detecting leaks and promoting responsible water usage.
Accurate water readings are essential for the water district to plan for water distribution and treatment needs.
The project applies to the city water district and does not include properties in the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation or Steamboat II Metro water districts.
Property owners in the city water district will be contacted by Keystone Utility Systems, the company in charge of replacing the water meters, and will be asked to schedule a date and time to perform the meter exchange.
The project will begin the week of April 28.
