For meters 1” and larger, it is the responsibility of the property owner to test the meter according to the schedule below and to maintain the meter in proper working order. Testing reports are to be submitted to the Water Department before December 31 of the year in which the meter is required to be tested. As a courtesy to properties with larger meters, the Water Department will send mailed reminders at the beginning of the year in which certification/testing is due.
Reports can be submitted by direct mail to Attleboro Water Department, 1296 West Street, Attleboro, MA 02703, or by email to water1@cityofattleboro.us. Should a property owner not comply, the Water Department may test, replace, repair, or maintain the meter, using either Department personnel or an outside contractor to perform the work, and shall invoice the property owner the cost for such service and materials.
