Customers wishing to opt out of the Neptune radio transmitter installation will be allowed to do so. By opting out of the R900 radio transmitter installation, the customer will be required to phone in water meter readings every second month (bi-monthly), and allow access by a Sturgeon County Technician, who can verify the meter reads.
The cost to call in meter readings is $20 bi-monthly, as per the Fees and Charges Bylaw. Opting out of the meter radio transmitter, still requires the new Neptune water meter as per bylaw 932/02.
