Lincolnshire installing water meter units

The village of Lincolnshire is in the final stages of a multiyear program to install new water meter transmitting units, officials said in an e-news release. The units sit on top of the water meter and transmit wireless data to meter readers as they drive down village streets. This technology allows the village to reduce time spent each month reading meters and reduce the number of errors made when data is transcribed manually from paper books to the computer billing system. The installation process typically requires 30 to 60 minutes, and there is no cost to the customer for this meter change-out. Final notification will be sent to all residents who have not scheduled an appointment for this meter upgrade. Residents who have not already scheduled an appointment are asked to contact the village hall at (847) 883-8600 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
