In order to ensure Greene
County Sanitary Engineering customers are charged fairly for the resources they use, the
Greene County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution on 21 September 1995 requiring
installation of water meters for sewer customers currently on a flat rate schedule and for
new customers that would not be connected to a public water service.
Installation of the meters will mean that each customer will be charged only for
the resources they use.
|
All County sewer customers must have
water meters installed on their wells or other private water source that contributes to
the sewage flow. For existing customers, the cost
of the meter installation is being paid by the County. This program applies only to
customers who have public sewer but not public water. Water customers are already
metered for sewer use.
Inspection of the well line meters will be required for new construction before
permits can be issued.
|
If conditions permit, the meters may be
installed in underground vaults in readily accessible locations. However, there will
be a number of connections, where the installation must be indoors, with remote reading
devices used to determine usage. Each connection will have to be evaluated for the
appropriate installation. Customers are encouraged to contact the Customer
Service Division of the Greene County Sanitary Engineering Department at 562-7450 to arrange for
installation of the well-line meters, click here for more information. |
