A water meter reader could be coming to your door sometime soon.

The city’s annual water meter reading program began earlier this month and will continue until the end of August.

Individuals are advised that meter readers will be visiting homes across the city on weekdays between 2:30 p.m. and dusk.

Readers will be dressed in dark blue pants or shorts and a light blue striped shirt with a City of Winnipeg Water and Waste logo over the pocket. All readers wear photo identification and carry a handheld computer.

Meter readings are required four times a year. The city assists customers with this by mailing a meter reading card three times a year (from September to May) and visiting homes during the summer to read the water meter.

Officials say regular meter readings prevent estimated bills and help with the early detection of costly plumbing leaks.
