Area D Water Meter Installation To Begin Monday

The Strathcona Regional District’s Area D Water Meter Installation Project will begin on Monday.

The project promotes water conservation by tracking individual water use, allowing residents to make decisions about their consumption while helping detect leaks and reduce water waste.

“Thanks to Provincial grant funding, the installation of water meters will be at no cost to homeowners,” said Mark Baker, Chair of the Strathcona Regional District Board.

“This project reflects SRD’s ongoing commitment to enhancing public infrastructure, supporting environmental responsibility, and investing in projects that promote community well-being.”

This $2.8 million dollar project will bring radio-read water meters to 852 currently unmetered connections in the area.

The project will feature the installation of Kamstrup radio-read meters, with work expected to be completed within 10 to 12 months.

Water meters will be installed on public property near the boundary of each property and residents will receive a notification letter one week before their scheduled installation date, with details including the date and expected duration of service interruption (up to three hours).

Older homes may require the installation of a pressure-reducing valve and an expansion tank on the hot water heater.

If valuable plants or landscaping features are within two meters of the water connection, residents are encouraged to relocate them ahead of time to avoid potential damage during installation.

The team will give a week’s notice before work begins, allowing time to move any important landscaping.
