The water meter is included in the water service connection fee for an OCWA water service and is owned and maintained by OCWA. The meter and the outside remote reader will be connected by OCWA, or under the supervision of OCWA. OCWA reserves the right in all cases to designate the size, type and make of the meter and receptacle to be used. The meter and remote reader will remain the property of OCWA. See our Customer Rules for more information regarding the installation of meters.
See Rate Schedule 5 for current meter fees.
