Fargo residents urged to schedule free water meter installation

InForum · last updated

FARGO — The city of Fargo has made significant progress in the installation of new water meters, with the project now 35% complete since it began in October.

Residents are required to have their old meters replaced, but the installation is free and takes just 20 to 30 minutes. City technicians are installing between 160 and 200 new meters daily on average.

The city said the new meters will allow citizens to monitor their water usage more precisely, potentially helping them save money.

“We are working on getting a customer portal set up so customers can control their own alerts. They can set their own limits as to how much water usage they would use, daily, weekly, hourly, and then it can get notified,” said Angie Bear, deputy city auditor.

Fargo residents who have not yet had their water meters replaced are encouraged to schedule their appointment at www.FargoND.gov/AMI .
