I’m landscaping my front yard and the meter pit is too low. Can I use bricks and raise the meter pit myself, or box in around the meter pit?
Please don’t! Simply contact the District and our employees can raise the meter pit properly to the desired height. The water meter pit and its contents are the property of the District, and unauthorized alterations can lead to additional problems. Building a wall or box around the meter pit can also prevent us from reaching and accessing the meter for emergency shut off, repairs, or maintenance. There is a service fee for raising the meter pit.
