HIRING: Water Meter Reader

2/17/2026

Resent for phone number change.

Water meters will be read again on March 15 and we hope to find a new water reader before then so they can train with our current neighbor, Kathy, before she moves.

1. Gather water meter readings from meter “touch pads” on outside walls of 65 houses using a hand-held electronic device.
