Users of Meaford's municipal water service will soon have new meters installed that will significantly reduce the amount of time that staff need to spend reading meters.
The majority of water meters currently in use were installed in the early 1990s and are reaching the end of their expected service lives, and as Meaford Treasurer Darcy Chapman noted in his report to council on July 24, technology has changed.
Meaford's 2017 tax supported budget includes $45,000 to support community partners providing programs, services, and events to the residents and visitors of the Municipality of Meaford. This recognition and financial support enables these groups to leverage other funding and support volunteer contributions.
