In response to issues with plastic pipe installations, the City of Beaumont’s Water and Wastewater department implemented alternate requirements for all new residential units.
Note: Jumper material in the meter setting space does not have to be copper as it will be removed with water meter installation.
Avoid delays in water meter installations by complying with these regulations.
Water meters are important instruments used by Beaumont to track water consumption and charge an accurate rate of water usage. In order to do so effectively, these are the requirements expected by Beaumont for every water meter installation within the City’s jurisdiction.
