City of Puyallup

WATER METER PROJECT TO BEGIN - The City will begin upgrading water meters starting September 13.  This 4-5 month project will convert all of the city's site read meters to radio read meters.  The Automatic Water Meter Reading system will allow the water department to quickly detect leaks and monitor consumption patterns, as data will be transferred from water meters to the Utility Billing Department every hour.  During construction of the project, residents may experience brief water outages.  When construction starts in a neighborhood, additional information will be left on doors letting citizens know of any planned outages.  For more information, contact the city's water division at (253) 495-7012.
