Starting the week of March 23, King Water will commence the installation of the last nine water meters at individual households. These are meters that are two deep in the meter box, fogged or in some cases there is no meter present. The meter project will take place over the next two weeks and will finalize the installation process.

Having meters at all individual households is a major step towards implementing a charge for water usage program.  Meter installations and charging for water usage, are both part of a Washington State Mandate, which has a due by date of January 1, 2017.

King does not anticipate having to shut the system down for the meter project, but as with any project, there may be pipe breaks or unforeseen problems, which may result in a temporary system shut down. If a shut down is necessary, community members will receive notification as timely as possible.
