Meter Testing - September 2020

PUBLISHED 8/19/20

Lawton citizens are advised that Utility Metering Solutions (UMS) will conduct water meter testing this year from Sept. 7-30 throughout Lawton. UMS is a contracted company of the City of Lawton; employees testing meters will be identifiable by clothing, vehicles and badges. The testing is being carried out to ensure meters are accurate and meet contractual guidelines. Meters will be tested randomly. TESTING PROCEDURE: UMS will knock doors to notify citizens of water meter testing. When testing is carried out, water will be off to the home for no more than 30 minutes. If a person does not answer the door and water is not being used through the meter, the tester will perform the test. The test involves removing the meter for 30 minutes and testing it against a calibrated test meter. Thank you
