The City of Maumee, through its deal with Mueller Systems, has contracted with Keystone Utilities for the installation of the new electronic water meters.
All Keystone installers are licensed and bonded, according to Joe Camp, Maumee’s director of public service.
Camp said the installers wear photo ID badges and all of their vehicles bear the company name.
Camp said the city considers it a very serious matter when all the residences and businesses of the municipality must be entered for the installations.
If any resident or business owner is unsure whether to allow workers access to their premises, Camp said they should call the City of Maumee for verification. Keystone installers are also working evenings and on weekends for the convenience of residents, he said.
The installation usually takes about a half-hour, depending on the location of the old meter and other factors.
