How do I obtain a temporary meter for construction or other use?: Temporary meters may be issued for temporary service to construction sites, for temporary special events, or for other applications where a permanent meter installation is not appropriate. Some acceptable uses of a temporary meter may include jumper connections for new water main construction; water service for a construction trailer; construction testing (i.e., soil compaction, masonry work); and, Christmas tree lots. The City will not allow the use of a temporary meter for bulk tank filling of lawn or pest control equipment or for connection to utility systems owned by another utility provider. The provision of a temporary meter, its location, and the appropriateness of its use shall be at the sole discretion of the Director of Public Works and Utilities or his designee.
