ON-LINE WATER METER
REGISTRATION SITE
CLICK HERE
to access a program that allows meter installers, owners, or
operators to record the location of new water meter installations
on-line.
This has two benefits: (1) it may be used in place of a
paper form which must be completed and forwarded to the HPWD office;
and (2) it allows easier identification and processing of meters for
EQIP approval.
A video tutorial
explains the process of creating an account, associating your
account with property, and the correct way to locate a meter. Other
modules will be added in the future to allow users to associate
wells with meters & to add contiguous acres. |
