NOTICE
FERGUSON WATERWORKS
The City of Cedar Rapids has partnered with Ferguson Waterworks to schedule replacements and upgrade water meters in residential customers' homes. This work will focus on replacing aging water meters and updating meter-reading equipment. Meter replacement crews will also capture details needed for our service-line inventory, which will be used to identify lead service lines that will need to be replaced over the next several decades. Ferguson Waterworks will be contacting customers to set up appointments to enter homes and make the replacements. Contractors will follow CDC guidelines to keep customers and staff safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you received a letter from Ferguson Waterworks, please schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. You may call 1-844-660-0369 or visit www.fergusonscheduling.com.
