Town to install water meters in mobile homes
The Town of Battleford plans to install new water meters in mobile homes and pick up the tab for the project.
Council approved the recommendation at its last regular meeting. Starting in January 2018, mobile home water meters will be replaced at an estimated cost of $65,000.
“I think it will be good for everybody,” Mayor Ames Leslie said. “Council had asked there is no cost to the mobile-home owner. The town is going to bear the cost of this whole change-over.”
The new meters, which staff can now read remotely, will be installed inside residents’ homes to protect the devices from the elements, and also to ensure they continue to provide accurate readings.
