Customers Must Maintain Clear Access to Water Meters

The Lakehurst field staff has been having trouble locating water meter pits due to homeowners landscaping over them, including, in some cases, concrete. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain access to the cast iron lid that covers the meter pit. The inability to read a meter could result in an inaccurate bill and a disturbance to your landscaping.
