Selling your house and need to get a final meter read?
The water department does not go out to properties to take final meter readings before closing. You can simply locate your meter (inside the house, usually in the basement), flip the cap and take a picture of the odometer numbers on the meter and email it to the water department.
The title agency handling the property's closing will then gather a final water statement from the water department and all fees will be collected at closing. Once the water department receives the checks from the title agency, which takes about a week, the water department will transfer the account over from the seller to the buyer.
Building a deck? Planting a tree? Installing a mailbox? A federally mandated national “Call Before You Dig” number, 811, was created to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on digging projects.
When you call the 811 number, your call will be routed to your Local One Call Center. Your Local One Call Center operator will ask you for the location of your digging job and route your call to affected utility companies. Your utility companies will then send a professional locator to your location to mark your lines within a few days. Once your underground lines have been marked, you will know the approximate location of your utility lines and can dig safely, because knowing what’s below protects you and your family.
New Jersey Law requires anyone digging to call at least three full business days (not counting weekends or holidays), prior beginning work. This includes professional excavators as well as property and home owners contractors.
Call New Jersey One Call at 811 or 800-272-1000
any time of the day or night.
It’s FREE and it’s the LAW.
