The Water Department has meters available to save you money on the water that is used outside. Since the water that goes through this meter does not go into the sewer system, you would not pay the sewer charges on this water, but you will have to pay for the water.

A $100.00 deposit is required to receive a sewer-deduct meter.  The annual rental fee is $20.00, billed on the September bill each year.

If the installation of a new lawn is included in your contract with your builder, please be aware that the cost of the water to establish the new lawn is NOT included and without this meter, you will pay both the water and sewer usage charges.

If you would like more information about an outside meter, you can call our office at (920) 262-4075 and if you are interested in using one of these meters, please fill out the application by clicking here.

Please note: Since there is an additional $20.00 charge for the meter, it will normally only save you money the first year you live in your house. For existing customers; the qualification for a deduct meter will be determined by the Watertown Water Department based on the previous years’ usage.
