No. New meters will be installed on all accounts. The co-op is embarking on a system-wide program that will change 100 percent of existing residential and commercial meters in order to acquire more accurate information and provide better service. The old meters are not compatible with the new system. The existing metering system provides limited information – primarily that which is used for bill purposes only. With the new system, member-owner service representatives can access the meter information and obtain the reading almost instantaneously.
Other features of the new system will provide engineering data that will enable us to monitor the system better and correct inefficiencies.
