Hi,
Ditto. I lucked out when city crew showed up to upgrade our water meter
with WiFi remote reader. I bribed them to replace the main shut off with
ball valve I already had for the purpose. 2 six pack soda was the price.


Our water utility finally realized they were causing more problems by
pulling your pants down with large maintenance shutoff fees so now all
you need to do is call and inform them you need to do maintenance and
they will schedule a no charge truck roll.
