New Water Meter Installation
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 17 December 2025 00:24
In an effort to improve delivery and aid in conservation, a water meter is now required in every home and business serviced by the Town of Lunenburg Water Utility.
The installation process will begin January 2026, and Neptune Technology Group has been contracted by the Town of Lunenburg Water Utility to install the new water meters. All Water Utility Customers will receive a letter from Neptune Technology Group outlining the installation process and instructions on setting up an appointment.
This is a mandatory program, as water meters are necessary to accurately measure water consumption. Water meters help manage consumption.
For Water Utility Rules and Regulations see Water Utility Regulations 2022
The installation procedure requires 30-90 minutes to complete, during which time the water will be shut off for a brief period. An adult of at least 18 years of age must be home for the entire appointment. There is no charge for the meter or the installation. For your convenience, appointments are available Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
What are the benefits of having a water meter installed?
With the increase in drought-like conditions that Nova Scotia has experienced, the Town of Lunenburg is implementing residential water metering – which is an effective way to reduce overall water consumption. Collecting water meter data will assist in the location of leaks and the monitoring of consumption, which encourages efficient use of drinking water.
This capital project was approved in 2025/26 and is currently entering the installation phase that provides new water meters for all customers. The commercial sector, that has previously been metered, will receive new upgraded meters to replace their existing meters, and all residential customers of the Water Utility will see the implementation of water meters.
Process for installation of new water meters
Customers will receive a notice that will introduce the Neptune Technology Group, who will be the contractors that will install the meters. The notice will contain contact information for setting up your installation appointment. Neptune Sample Letter and FAQs
Thank you for ensuring that our valued water source continues to be managed and protected for years to come.

- Residents may use the off-street parking lots during storm/snow removal for FREE this season (see map below). There is no requirement for a permit to use our off-street lots.
- Residents are asked to remove their vehicles from these lots within 8 hours after a storm. This allows our crews to clear those lots for the next storm. Any vehicles left in these lots passed the 8-hour period risk being removed at the owner’s cost.
