Water Meter Replacements
The Municipality of Lakeshore is replacing water meters across the municipality.
Replacing the old style water meter with the new one will make reading your meter more efficient. The new meters will provide the infrastructure in support of new equipment and software to enhance the Municipality's customer service. Automatic meter readers are becoming more common in municipalities and provide the necessary information to support water conservation and prevent excessive consumption leading to higher than normal water bills.
