Water Meter

The photo on the left is of a water meter. The meter in the photo is similar to the meter in your own home. Meters in homes in the project area have valves in positions similar to the valves labeled “A” and “B” in the photo. You own these valves. If you have not operated valves A and B on a regular basis, they could leak or break when Palda operates them. If this occurs, you will need to repair or replace the valve at your own expense using your own contractor.

Palda must operate these valves in your home when they connect your home to the temporary water main pipe network (network). Because water is supplied to your home from the network by back feeding the water into your home at your outside hose bib. The back feed of water is possible because Palda can turn off valves A and B. Valves A and B remain off for the duration your home is connected to the network.

Turning off these valves prevents water from flowing backwards through your water meter and flooding Palda’s trench in the street that is needed to replace the city-owned portion of your water service pipe.

Please contact Chad Millner at SEH at 952.912.2611 or cmillner@sehinc.com with questions or concerns regarding valves A and B in your home.
