The City of Dawson Creek is initiating a Water Meter Replacement Program. Many water meters in our City are approaching the end of their expected life span and need to be replaced with a new one.

The City has awarded the contract for the water meter upgrade program to Krows Contracting Ltd. As each phase is implemented, licensed meter installers will canvas areas that have been identified for that phase and deliver a copy of the official notice to property owners. Krows employees will all wear an identification tag, bearing the Krows logo. Your co-operation with our contractor is greatly appreciated.
