Meter Maintenance

Why Choose Meter Maintenance?

A meter maintenance package will cover any labor costs that will be incurred during the lifespan of the system. Labor costs are covered by the service fee on the resident’s bill.

Complete Accuracy

Banyan ensures that meters are not faulty and are reading the actual amount being consumed. We monitor readings closely to ensure a community is recovering the most amount possible.

Being Proactive

A community will be informed when there seems to be a fluctuation (high or low) with the readings. Banyan will communicate with the community to determine if there is an issue, and how to resolve it.

Meter Maintenance and Compliance

Banyan uses reliable, high-quality precision products from the industry’s leading manufacturers of submetering hardware. No matter the quality, all meters need maintenance to ensure accuracy for the benefit of both the resident and the owner. Our qualified and experienced technicians understand that quality assurance and control are the keys to a successful submetering system.

A valuable submetering system solution Banyan offers is a meter maintenance package. A meter maintenance package will cover any labor costs during the duration of the system’s life.

Another important aspect of any existing or future submetering system is compliance with national, state and local regulations. Many existing submetering systems were installed prior to new regulations and are due for inspection.

With our relationships with various state and local regulatory departments we are able to see what is required to ensure your meters are in compliance. With our maintenance and compliance programs Banyan is consistently delivering added-value to both property owners and residents. Through continuous maintenance and monitoring of current and new regulations, Banyan ensures our systems are accurate and compliant.

Meter Testing

For meters to be effective, they must accurately read the amount of water, natural gas or electricity flowing through. Proper testing and maintenance procedures should be in place to assure accuracy.

The majority of residential water meters are the positive displacement type, which almost always slow down when they are worn or encrusted by minerals or debris. With residential meters, the testing program should either consist of periodic testing on a test bench or a complete change-out program.

Residential meters should be checked, cleaned, and calibrated every seven to 10 years or as indicated by your state primacy agency. Testing and maintenance of the meters depends on the quality and quantity of the water. If adverse conditions, such as high minerals or large flows are encountered, meters will require more frequent attention. Water that has high levels of minerals will affect the operation of a meter over time. This should be taken into account with a system’s preventive maintenance program by cleaning the meter to extend its life and to improve the accuracy of the
meter.
