City of Bonney Lake – Water Meter Information
The City of Bonney Lake Water Division reads approximately 15,000 water meters each month. We have two staff members dedicated to reading those meters.
Please help by keeping your water meters accessible and free of any obstructions. This allows staff to quickly read your meter or shut off water during an emergency.
Common obstructions include:
- Grass, bushes, or other landscaping
- Vehicles, trailers, or construction equipment
- Garbage or recycling bins
- Gravel or other materials
Keeping the area clear helps prevent damage to you landscaping and ensures accurate water and sewer bills.
Where is your water meter?
It is usually located at the edge of your property or in a nearby utility easement. It is housed in a rectangular box made of concrete, plastic, or metal with a matching lid.
Water meter Upgrades
We are upgrading 10% of water meters each year to a radio-read system. These meters will:
- Provide highly accurate readings
- Record up to 96 days of data in 15-minute intervals
- Help detect leaks and water use patterns
- Will support a future online system where customers will have the ability to view their water use and account information
