Temporary Construction Meter Form

Construction meters are generally intended to be used for temporary purposes such as for grading and new construction. Whenever reasonable, the customer is encouraged to take out the permanent meter in lieu of a construction meter. In no case will a temporary construction meter be allowed to serve a completed structure that should be connected to the water system through a permanent meter.
