[00:00:03]
THE JEFFERSON PARISH WATER DEPARTMENT PRIORITIZES QUALITY AND SUSTAINABLE DRINKING WATER AS THE NEXT STEP IN THIS EFFORT, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH PEDAL VALVES TO PROVIDE NEW ADVANCED METERING TECHNOLOGY THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU BETTER MANAGE WATER CONSUMPTION AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS.
MOST INSTALLATIONS WILL REQUIRE A METER EXCHANGE AND TAKE PLACE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS.
THE PROCESS IS SIMPLE PEDAL VALVES.
A PROFESSIONAL METER INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR WILL ENSURE THE UPGRADE IS DONE EFFICIENTLY AND CORRECTLY.
YOU'LL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL ABOUT WHEN YOU CAN EXPECT INSTALLATIONS TO BEGIN IN YOUR AREA.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT OR EVEN BE HOME.
YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE ACCESS TO THE WATER METER IS SAFE AND CLEAR AND THAT PETS ARE SECURED.
MOST WATER METERS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE STREET OR SIDEWALK.
WE'LL MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION TO YOUR WATER SERVICE.
ON AVERAGE METER EXCHANGES SHOULD TAKE ABOUT 30 MINUTES.
WATER SERVICE IS RESTORED AS SOON AS THE EXCHANGE IS COMPLETE.
AND WHEN POSSIBLE, YOUR INSTALLER WILL USE AN EXTERIOR HOSE SPIGOT TO RELEASE ANY AIR TRAPPED IN THE LINE.
THE PEDAL VALVES INSTALLER WILL WEAR PROPER IDENTIFICATION AND PROTECTION AND THERE'S NO NEED TO GO INSIDE YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS.
AFTER INSTALLATION, YOU'LL FIND A DOOR HANGER TO CONFIRM THAT YOUR UPGRADE WAS SUCCESSFUL.
IF THE UPGRADE IS ABLE TO BE MADE A DOOR HANGER WITH NOTES ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE LEFT.
IF WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FLUSH YOUR LINE, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY THIS DOOR HANGER.
AS ALWAYS, JEFFERSON PARISH WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH HIGH QUALITY SUSTAINABLE DRINKING WATER.
