The new 'locked' water meter covers in the city of Bonham need to be removed and replaced with the old ones. Not only will we no longer to be able to compare our meter readings with our current bill, but it will cause unnecessary problems throughout the winter. You will no longer be able to see if your meter is moving to detect leaks or busted pipes in the cold weather. So unless you'd rather crawl under your houses every single day and inspect every inch of your pipes, please help me let the city know that we need these atrocities removed as soon as possible.
I have spent my mornings checking the pipes under my own home because I can no longer trust the city to let me see my own meter. The city officials keep ignoring my calls about these locks even though they know a burst pipe in this weather spells disaster for any of us. We are going to keep pushing until they realize that hiding our own water usage from us is not an option.

Seeing the count climb this high proves that I am not the only one frustrated by being locked out of our own water meters. It is a relief to know my neighbors want to keep their pipes safe from freezing just as much as I do.

I had a leak last winter and caught it early because I could see the dial moving. locking these up is just asking for high water bills and property damage. fix it back.

Ridiculous. My meter is already iced over and I cant even check it now. The city is making a massive mistake here.
