Voluntary Water Metering Program
Starting in early 2025, the Township of Langley will be introducing a voluntary water metering program to encourage water conservation and to provide residents an equitable way to pay for water use. Township of Langley residents will have the opportunity to apply to have a water meter installed at their property, at no direct installation cost to homeowners.
Benefits of water metering for residents:
| What is a water meter? |
| A water meter is installed on your water service line before any other connections and measures the amount of water consumed on a property. This information can then be utilized to provide property owners with accurate and detailed water bills. |
| How does water metering detect and reduce leaks? |
| By collecting ongoing water consumption data from a water meter, increases in consumption can be detected. Consumption that is above the typical use for a property may indicate a possible leak on that property. |
| Who can apply for the program? |
|
The property owner or property management company of any Township property connected to the municipal water system are eligible to apply for the program. All applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. |
|
Does it cost me anything to have a water meter installed to participate in the voluntary water meter program? |
|
No, there will be no direct cost to the property owner for the installation of the water meter, however each property will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for the capacity to accept a water meter in accordance with Township of Langley Bylaws and Standards. |
| How can I sign up? |
| The application will be available by the end of 2024, with the program expected to launch in early 2025. Sign up for the voluntary water meter program eNews to be notified when the application is available and for further information about the program. |
