WATER SERVICE REQUEST APPLICATION
RESIDENTIAL / COMMERCIAL

BPU NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED BEFORE SHEET ROCK IS PUT UP SO BPU CAN RUN TRANSMITTER WIRE

Policy 2008-13 BPU has the right to access a customer’s residence or business at reasonable time, whether it is for a reading, inspection, repairing and/or replacing a water meter, or for some other purpose reasonably necessary for the proper administration for the water service. A notice will be sent to the customer stating the reason for the access to  the water meter. If the customer does not  respond back by the due date on the notice, to make arrangements with BPU to correct the problem, BPU has the right to turn the water service off until access is gained. If the water service is turned off, the customer will have to pay a $50 water turn on fee before the service is reinstated.
