UPDATE 10/15/2025: AMI meter exchanges are now 99% complete.
-
Data Collection Units (DCUs) are on backorder and are needed to communicate with the remaining meters that still need to be exchanged.
We're Upgrading Our Equipment
We have partnered with Boarder States aka Chapman Metering that specializes in large meter exchange projects to facilitate our system-wide meter upgrade project. You may see Border States personnel in your yard or neighborhood doing the meter exchanges.
After your new meter is installed, here's what you can expect:
- You will need to reset your electronic devices. The power was out for a few minutes so you will need to reset electronic devices such as digital clocks.
- Your billing statement will have two readings; one from the old meter and one from the new meter.
