Temporary Use of MWS Fire Hydrant Meters (Effective April 1, 2006)
Customers needing temporary water service no longer than ninety (90) days, may sign for service and be issued a Metro Water (MWS) fire hydrant meter.
Customers must bring to the MWS Customer Service Center two forms of identification, tax identification number, letter of authorization, location and tag number of fire hydrant to be used and pay the appropriate deposit as follows:
Meter Size Amount 1" $ 400.00 3" $1000.00
Prior to installation of meter or moving of meter to a different location, customer must notify MWS of location and fire hydrant number where meter will be located by contacting:
Bernie Riley 862-4770 ext 357
bernie.riley@nashville.gov
MWS will bill meter minimum for two consecutive months. It will be the customer's responsibility to bring the meter to the meter shop at the end of the third month for actual reading. The customer will then be billed a meter minimum as well as the actual consumption for the three month period. If meter becomes defective or dead and actual consumption cannot be determined, usage will be estimated and billed accordingly. If account becomes delinquent, a 5-day notification will be issued. If payment is not received, service will be interrupted.
If time period extends beyond 90 days, the customer will be expected to purchase the meter from MWS and follow appropriate guidelines for customer owned fire hydrant meters.
