It’s time to upgrade your water meter!
The Philadelphia Water Department is installing new meter reading devices in every home in the city.
If you have received a notice in the mail or an email pointing you to this page, that means we’re going to be working in your neighborhood. You must schedule your installation appointment within 30 days of receiving the notice.

Appointments are available Monday – Saturday, 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

If no chat representatives are available, you will be directed to email a scheduler.
This upgrade is required and there is no charge for installation.
The work will be done by our contractors, Contract Callers, Inc. (CCI), and U.S. Facilities (USF). Another contractor, Black IPO, will be performing quality assurance tests after some installations. Contractors will have marked cars and photo identification.
Your health and safety are our priority. Our teams follow all state and local requirements, including protective equipment, sanitizing procedures, and social distancing.
You may delay installation due to COVID-19 health concerns by calling the scheduling number and requesting a deferral.
Benefits for you:
- You’ll be able to see your daily usage online, without calling or waiting for a monthly bill.
- You can sign up for leak or usage alerts before they result in a high water bill.
