The Hampton Bays Water District announced this week that it has contracted SUEZ Metering to replace commercial water meters measuring 1½ inches or larger across the district starting Monday, March 23. The work is estimated to finish by Sunday, March 29.
The district warned that while replacements are underway there will be temporary interruptions to water service for affected customers that could be as short as 30 minutes and as long as four hours. Officials said the replacements are needed to maintain accurate usage and operational standards, replace aging or obsolete equipment, improve system efficiency and support future upgrades.
The water district said it has taken steps to inform customers ahead of time and that additional appointment and replacement details are available on the Southampton Town website. Customers were advised to schedule appointments as directed by the district to minimize disruptions.
