information regarding water meter subsidy funds available

California's residents that is free from lead contamination.
The
California Water Meters Subsidy Fund offers a subsidy to
purchase non-lead meters from ABB Water Meters, Inc., Hersey
Meters, Inc. or Master Meter, Inc. This subsidy is for residential
water meters is sized 3/4" or smaller. The subsidy amounts
are as follows:
3/4"
meters - $9.00 per meter
5/8"
meters - $6.50 per meter
Each
water district may seek up to $35,000 in subsidy money per
year. Requests will be processed in the order they are received,
until the Fund is entirely depleted for the year.
The
total amount of the Fund is $350,000 per year. If, at the
end of the year, any money remains in the Fund, any water
district that has already received its $35,000 allotment
may apply for the excess, to cover additional water meter
purchases that have occurred that year, on a first come,
first served basis.
