ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS

 

 

FAQ        You must have read the wrong meter!

There is not any human input as far as reading meters.  Each and every meter has a specific meter number and after the initial setup, the reader gun is either used on touch pads located at each location or radio reads transmitted to the handheld reader when passing by the location.

 

FAQ        There is a problem with the meter, there is no way I used that much water!

You can check your own meter by simply writing down the inside meter reading, filling something with one gallon marked on it, and then reread the inside meter once again.  Subtract the beginning reading from the ending reading and it should be one gallon, if not, you should then call us.  A toilet leaking or running even occasionally will increase water usage very quickly; it will run when you are at work and when you are asleep.  The general rule of water usage is 100 – 125 gallons per person per day.

 

FAQ        My water & sewer bill is too high!

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin oversees the Darien Water Utility as to all rate schedules and rules.  While the Darien Water Utility is not in the business to turn a profit, it must maintain rates sufficient enough to cover all expenses.
