FAQs

A second irrigation meter, sometimes referred to as a submeter or maintenance meter, is a meter specifically installed to measure the amount of water used outside your home for irrigation purposes. Water used for irrigation purposes does not enter the Town sewer system and can be deducted from the homeowner's utility bill once per year (November).

To obtain an irrigation meter credit on your sewer bill, you must report your reading once per fiscal year. Second meter readings are submitted once a year in October to credit your November bill.

Failure to submit your irrigation system meter reading each year will result in a cap (maximum) in your utility bill credit, which will be estimated for the most recent 12-month period.

To participate in this program you must have an irrigation meter that has been "sealed" (inspected and registered) by the Town.

For more information about irrigation meter installation and registration please call the Dedham Building Inspector's Office at 781-751-9180.
