Temporary Meter Services Employee II
About The Position
MPU is working on a strategic initiative to install water meter encoder receiver transmitters (ERTs) in homes and businesses throughout our water service territory. Instead of a customer’s water meter communicating its reading to a touchpad on the outside of the home or business requiring a meter reader to walk to every location, ERTs transmit the customer’s water meter reading to a reading device as our meter readers drive by the location. This technology will allow MPU to read our customers’ water meter every month alleviating estimated bills every other month. We’re looking for a full-time temporary employee to help install ERTs and change out water meters throughout the community. The primary task is to change water meters and install encoder receiver transmitters (ERTs) via pre-scheduled customer site visits while also inspecting the customer’s property for cross connections of the water system, but work also includes taking readings of water meter dials, inspecting meters and reporting irregularities to the Key Accounts & Meter Services Manager, and operating meter software programs.
