SECOND WATER METER POLICY
Customer must hire a licensed plumber who will be responsible to obtain a plumbing permit from the Building Department
The plumber would then purchase the water meter from the Public Works, 16 Pine Street. The plumber must have a copy of the plumbing permit and a bank check for the water meter made out to Ti-Sales. (Contact the Public Works for current meter prices). In addition, Effective July 1, 2008, the plumber must also have a bank check (or cash) made out to the Town of Stoneham for $100.00.
The plumber is responsible to install the water meter so that all water passes through the primary meter first. All second water meters are to be installed with the current outside reading device.
There are absolutely no inside connections (drawoffs, spigots, etc.) allowed after the second water meter inside the dwelling.
Second water meters are for outside usage only (example: filling of pools, washing vehicles, watering gardens/lawn)
An inspection must be made by the Public Works Department and the Plumbing Department before any credits will be issued on water/sewer/trash bills.
Any water that is used on the second water meter will be forfeited if an inspection has not been made by this Department for an inspection prior to the use of the second water meter.
