Water Meter Replacement Update

We are finishing up installations on the east side of Saint Paul as well as Maplewood.

Residential meter replacement rates have remained steady at 1,200 - 1,400 per week.

Residential Installations

·        We are 90 percent finished with installations south of Holloway, west of Century Ave., east of White Bear Ave., and north of Conway.

·        Installation are more than 85 percent complete in an area bordered approximately by I-94 in the south, Arlington in the north, McKnight in the East, and Burlington in the west.  (Green area on map)

·        We are about 60 percent finished in Maplewood and Saint Paul, south of I-94 and bordering either side of McKnight road down to the southern edge of both cities. The area extends to the railroads in the west and Century Avenue in the east. (Pink area on map.)

·        We are 11 percent finished in area marked by White Bear Ave in the east, Point douglas Road in the SW, Burns Ave. to the south, and Earl Street to the west. (Red on the map.)

Please be aware that in a minority of cases, in which repeated attempts to contact the homeowner or resident have gone without response for at least two months, we have disconnected water services until we can arrange to have a new meter installed.
