Meter Replacement Programs Joint Discussion
This article discusses the need for a meter replacement program. Before 1956, meters were replaced only when they failed to register, leaked, or were otherwise defective. Replacement in this manner was without method or goal. Early in 1956, the U.S. Department of Sanitary Engineering sponsored a meter rotation program to achieve increased revenue, preventive maintenance, and a stabilized work load. The article discusses the first phase of the program in which all municipally owned domestic meters that had been in service more than 10 years would be scheduled for rotation. The average labor cost of meter removal and resetting is discussed, along with procedures for meter repair, and non‐municipally owned meters. The article is followed with a discussion by James H. Lee of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission's program of routine meter replacement and maintenance, including program costs and value.
