The Residential Water Meter Inspections/Installs Listing: Check on the status of your residential water meter inspections and installations. The list below shows which service requests have been assigned to a Meter Services Inspector. Meter inspections are generally completed within ten business days of the initiation of the Service Request. An address with an “Assigned” service request may have an inspection completed within three business days, barring unforeseen circumstances. Please make sure the meter box is clean, the wooden dowel spacer is sized properly and marked with the service address, and the angle stop and ball valves are in alignment for a successful meter installation.
