Panacea Area Water System, Inc. remains to do everything we can to control expenses in order to continue to offer the lowest prices possible on your water.

One area we are asking our customers to help is your water meter box, lid and electronic meter. Your residential water meter box is made of hard plastic and is not rated for the loads from a vehicle without risk of damage. You also have a round sensor mounted on the top of your meter box lid which is the electronic sending unit which allows your meter to be read without removal of the lid. This sensor can be damaged by lawn mowers or vehicle traffic as well. The cost for Panacea Area Water System, Inc. to replace your meter box is approximately $150.00, and the replacement of the electronic sensor is $100.00.

In order to avoid charges for replacement, we are asking you to take a minute to locate your water meter and make sure it is well marked to avoid being run over and damaged. We also ask you to clear brush, branches and other landscaping away from your meter box so it can be easily accessed for reading and maintenance.

If you would like assistance in locating your meter, or having us mark its location, please give us a call @ 850-984-5301. We appreciate your help in this matter, and look forward to providing you with continued outstanding water service.
