Valparaiso City Utilities - Water Department AMR QUESTIONS

Let Us Answer Your Questions About A.M.R.

Q: Will the meter's miniature sealed radio transmitter interfere with my appliances, telephone or radio/TV reception?
A: No. The mini transmitter power level is extremely low.

Q: Will I still be able to visually read the meter at any time to verify usage?
A: Yes, providing your meter is not located inside a lock-type underground meter box.

Q: How will the new system make things more convenient for me?
A: If your meter is inside a building or basement, our meter readers no longer need bother you to visually read the meter for regular reading cycles. Meters in underground meter pits can be read without crossing lawns or property lines in most cases.

The chance of reading or billing errors in your water bills will be greatly reduced because the reading data is electronically transferred from the meter and used to prepare the bills by a computerized process.

For answers to additional questions, please call our office at 462-6174 extension 0 and any of our customer service representatives will be more than happy to assist you.
