Starting Monday, March 14, 2016 the City of Steinbach’s Waterworks Department will be busy reading water meters in Steinbach. These readings will provide the basis for the quarterly utility bills issued at the beginning of May.
Meter readings are conducted by two Waterworks Department employees and takes five to seven days to complete. These City employees can be identified by their safety vests and the City of Steinbach identification cards that they carry.
The City’s wireless meter reading system allows staff to receive readings from the sidewalk, eliminating the need for access to private properties and also reducing reading times. The readings are not invasive unless the meter is located inside the house or the read-out is not working. In these situations, City employees will request entry into the house.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your water meter, please contact Waterworks Dept. Head, Mike Heppner at 204-326-6214 or by email at mheppner@steinbach.ca.
