Vogler T he Town of Saugus is about to enter a new technological age of water metering operations that will allow customers to monitor their water usage and receive an alert when they have a water leak or burst pipe that could prove costly. Home and business owners will soon be receiving postcards in the mail requesting that they set up appointments to get their water meters replaced. “What we want to do is make sure everybody knows this is a mandatory situation where the town is replacing the water meters,” Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree told the Board of Selectmen at their meeting Tuesday night (March 4). It’s Time to Spring Ahead 1 Hour Saturday!

They’ll be working along with the town and will be working to do a schedule,” Crabtree said. “And they’ll be scheduling these by appointment, either by phone – the resident can call and make an appointment – or Mass Installation Incorporated has a website that residents will be able to go on and actually schedule an appointment online to have their meter replaced,” he said. Mass Installation, Inc., based in Norwood, Mass., has a contract with the town to replace about 9,700 water meters.
