Conservation Tips
YOUR WATER METER CAN HELP YOU SAVE WATER
Do you know how much water you use where you live? Your water meter knows. It keeps track of every drop. Day in and day out like an ever faithful servant, it calculates the amount of clean, clear drinking water pouring through your pipes.
Take a morning shower, have a refreshing drink, do the dishes or wash clothes, water the lawn, it’s all recorded on the meter’s dial. Is that useful for you to know? It could be. Meters read straight across like the odometer on a car. The meter always reads every 10 gallons.
Do your part to use water wisely. Your water meter can help.
The Town of Rosendale is currently in the process of installing new water meters. Please call to schedule an appointment to have your new water meter installed if it has not been done already.
