Important Information
Update - Phase Two is Underway (June 2026)
Over the next two months, Edgett Excavating will be replacing existing Neptune water meters and other older meter models with new Kamstrup water meters on behalf of the SRD.
For most properties, the work will involve a quick meter replacement. Some properties may require the installation of a new meter setter, which will take additional time to complete.
Edgett Excavating will provide advance notice to affected properties before work begins. The SRD appreciates residents' patience and cooperation while this work is being completed. If you have questions about the project, please contact engineering@srd.ca.

About Water Meter Project
The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) is installing water meters at residences in Area D. This project will mean a switch to consumption-based water billing for Area D residents.
Provincial funding for the project was first announced in 2023, with installations beginning in January 2025. Installations are expected to continue until August 2026. The SRD anticipates switching to metered billing in late 2026.
The goal is to promote water conservation by tracking individual water use. By connecting billing to usage, residents can make informed decisions and identify leaks, helping to reduce overall water consumption.
The data collected will help the SRD identify water use trends, detect leaks, and better understand overall system demand. Individual usage data will remain confidential and only be used for billing and system maintenance purposes.
