Meter Box Maintenance

What This Service Involves

Meter boxes fill with debris, settle out of grade, and crack over time, obstructing reads and creating trip hazards in the right-of-way. Our crews clean out boxes, repair or replace damaged lids and bodies, and reset units to proper grade. We clear vegetation and obstructions so meters remain accessible for reading and service. Each serviced box is documented for your utility's asset records.
