There isn’t any fee involved with the replacement of the water meter. As long as you have completed the meter change update, your water bills will reflect an auto or actual reading under "read type" instead of an "e" for "estimate." If you see that your bill is estimated and you have already had your meter updated, you can email a photo of your meter reading to waterbilling@ferndalemi.gov or call the Water Billing Department to go over your account.
