Please be advised that the Village of Gowanda has contracted National Metering Services Inc. to upgrade its water meter system.  National Metering will be installing meters and soliciting door to door in your neighborhood during the next three – four weeks.  The new meters will be read by radio transmitter.   This installation service is free of charge.  Access to your home or place of business to install the new meter will be required.  In order for an installation to take place they will require that someone 18 years or older be present at the time of installation.  Please have water meter area clear.  National Metering Services’ installers are required to be in uniform and to have identification badges displayed at all times (our Village Clerk has copies of these badges at the village office if you would like to see a copy).  Their vehicles will also be appropriately marked with their company name.  If you would like to call them an schedule an appointment, please call 1-888-448-0009 or go online at www.nmsnj.com  If you have any other questions please contact the Village of Gowanda at 716-532-3353.  Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
