WMBF · last updated

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – Thousands of new water meters will be installed in the city of Myrtle Beach.

Starting on Monday, Ferguson Waterworks will install over 7,000 water meters for customers who don’t have updated ones.

The new meters will help identify leaks quicker, reduce water waste, eliminate manual readings and provide easy access to water usage data.

Ferguson Waterworks will inform homeowners ahead of the installation by using door hangers.

While crews are installing the new water meters, homeowners can expected temporary water outages for about 30 minutes. Once the water is restored, residents are asked to run the water for a few minutes to clear the water line.

The entire installation process is expected to take nearly seven months, with crews installing about 50 meters a day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
