When the current meters were purchased, a standard ten -year warranty was included that allowed for the replacement of damaged registers at no cost to the City. To replace the register on a typical 5/ 8" x 3/ 4" residential water meter, the equipment costs 60. 00, not including one hour of staff labor.
