If you are building a new home in the PWSD No. 9 district, please call the office at 816-532-3803 for current meter prices.
Prices vary depending on location of the water line and your property.
A meter set is considered "Short Side" when the water line is on the same side of the road as your property.
Effective January 1, 2024 Short meter fee is $5,500.00
A meter set is considered "Long Side" when the water line is across the street from your property and requires excavation on both sides of the road.
Effective January 1, 2024 Long meter fee is $6,500.00
Some meter sets may include exceptions and may require additional fees.
All new service lines now require proof of material used. This is the material installed under ground from the meter to the house. A photo of the line prior to covering or cost sheet showing material purchased for that property will suffice.
ALL new residential meters also require a $75.00 account deposit at the time of meter purchase. (Commercial accounts $150.00 deposit)
You will also be required to fill out a Water User's Agreement. This agreement can be emailed upon request, or picked up in the office at the time of the meter purchase.
If no water line is currently available to service your property, a water main extension may be necessary. There is no set cost for main extensions as each one has different requirements.
Because monthly billing begins at the time the meter is set, we will not set the meter prior to the start of construction, unless specifically asked to do so.
Meters are typically placed near the driveway, but there are exceptions.
If you are ready for the meter, and it has not been installed, call the office to get it scheduled. Upon scheduling request, and weather permitting, it may take about 10-14 days.
