ATTENTION:
The City of Papillion has modified the requirements for residential water meter endpoint installation.
Formerly, a dovetail mounting kit was utilized to mount the water meter endpoint module to an
inside wall or floor joist inside the basement. The new installation method will be to mount the
endpoint module to the exterior of the structure with the included wall cover install kit. There is no
increase to the cost of the meter.
The provided meter package includes 25-ft of cable from the meter register where the endpoint
module can connect (additional extensions available from the Public Works Department upon
request). This cable shall be installed through the structure wall to install the endpoint module on
the outside of the residence. The final positioning of the endpoint module mount on the exterior of
the structure is flexible, but it is required that the mount be placed in a way that it can be accessed by
personnel, at least 1-ft above grade, and near other exterior utility meters and boxes when possible.
This new installation method is effective immediately for single-family residences only. Businesses
and multi-family units are not required to install the endpoint module on the exterior but may
choose to install the endpoint on the exterior to improve access and signal.
All meters now come standard with the wall mount kit. Business or Multi-family units can use this
same kit to install on an interior wall. See attached for the installation manual for the wall mount.
We will also provide this manual with the new meters upon pick-up.
