Credit Meter Program
Some customers have separate water meters for water used in landscaping and for swimming pools. These customers can enroll in the District’s credit meter program. In the credit meter program, water usage through the separate meter is deducted from the sewer treatment portion of the utility bill. Note the customer pays all costs for purchase and installation of the credit meter and must notify FRWRD for reading the meter. Information about the program and the customer’s agreement for the program are found below.
