Beginning Fall 2026, Lynnfield Water District is beginning a District-wide water meter replacement project. Many existing meters are reaching the end of their useful battery life and require replacement. The District has partnered with Hydro Utilities to schedule and complete the replacements. There is no cost to customers for the new meter or installation.

Prior Notification:

  1. Hydro Utilities will mail you a notice when it is time to schedule your meter replacement.
  2. The notice will include instructions to book your appointment, as well as a QR code, website, or telephone number for scheduling. It will also include your unique Work Order Number and Service Number required to schedule.
  3. If you have not received a notice from Hydro Utilities, please wait until you are contacted before scheduling.

Before Your Appointment:

  1. Ensure the meter is accessible. It is typically located in the basement or on the lowest level of the home, near the front of the property.
  2. Keep approximately five feet of clear space around the meter.
  3. Have an adult aged 18 or older present for the entire appointment.
  4. Secure all pets away from the work area.
  5. Have any keys needed to access the meter available.

During the Appointment, Hydro Utilities technicians will:

  1. Arrive in a clearly marked Hydro Utilities vehicle and carry photo identification.
  2. Replace the existing water meter and communication module.
  3. Temporarily shut off water service while the replacement is completed.
  4. Test the new meter and clean the work area before leaving.
