If there is not a remote register on the meter, the new customer must have one installed within thirty days. There is a $40.00 charge (unless unusual conditions exist) for the Division of Water personnel to install the remote. If the customer installs the wire and conduit, there is a $15.00 charge for the connection and test of the circuit. The wire and specifications are available at the Division of Utility Billing office located at 400 Conant Street. If the meter is faulty, a new one will be installed at no charge to the customer. Remotes on buildings built on concrete slabs usually present installation problems. The city cannot perform the installation if the wiring must be routed through a finished room or an attic. Names of private individuals who can do such installations are also available at the Division of Utility Billing office.
