Purple water meter lids were ordered in June 2022, but because of supply chain issues, not all have arrived. Some of you may have plywood planks as a temporary covering. Once the lids have arrived, the planks will be removed, and the lid installed. Please be advised that the planked areas are considered a construction zone and should be avoided. Please do not step on the planks, move them, or tamper with them in any way. Thank you; we appreciate your continued patience.
