Watertown, WI

The Water Department has meters available to save you money on the water that is used outside. Since the water that goes through this meter does not go into the sewer system, you would not pay the sewer charges on this water but you will have to pay for the water. 

• A $55.00 deposit will be billed on your account. This deposit will be refunded to your account when the meter is returned and found to be in good working condition.
• The annual rental fee is $20.00 which is billed on the September bill each year. This charge is not refundable.

If you would like more information about an outside meter or are interested in using one of these meters, please call our office at (920)262-4075, Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. or fill out an application online at https://www.ci.watertown.wi.us/departments/deduct_meter_application.php

Please note: Since there is an annual $20.00 fee for the meter, it will normally only save you money the first year that you live in your house.  For existing customers, qualification for a deduct meter will be determined by the Watertown Water Department based on the previous years’ usage.

SWIMMING POOL FILLS

The fire department does not provide water for pool fills and fire hydrants and deduct meters may NOT be used for swimming pool fills.

You may contact a swimming pool water delivery company if you need to fill your pool quickly to keep the liner from moving or you can fill it directly off of your outside water faucet; usage charges will be billed for both the water and sewer if filled from your faucet.

You may want to check with your swimming pool installer for a list of delivery companies or check online or in the yellow pages under “Swimming Pool Water Delivery”.
