Water company reminds of meter box care

As spring turns into summer time, the Myrtle Springs Water Supply Corporation is asking its customers “to be mindful of meter boxes.”

“Please keep them and the area around them mowed and weed-eated to make meter reading time more efficient and safe for our operators,” the corporation said. “If your box tends to have ants, please sprinkle some ant poison out.  Please be cautious around meter boxes, they make good homes for snakes and bees.”

If the meter box is missing its lid or the lid is damaged, customers are asked to contact the water office for repair or replacement.
