iam plumbing a 2 bath house in ma and the water meter froze and burst, needs to be replaced. could anyone tell me the first step itake to get a new one. i have to call the town right, or should the homeowner call and set it up themself.
Why don't you call. If the city wants the homeowner to call, then pass the ball to him. It's not like you will get in trouble if it's not your place to make the call.
I work for a city owned utility and we are responsible for everything up to and including the meter. In this case it wouldn't matter who called we would still come replace the meter free of charge.
Call the utility, as a poster indicated above they aren't going throw you in jail for calling.
Because there are two gazillion questions and/or answers that require some expository replies to them. The only thing worse than no answer is a bad one.
