Changes are coming to the utility meters in Coffeyville.

Over the next few months, Coffeyville citizens will see the Electric & Water Department employees and contractors from NexGen Utility Solutions around town. The city is doing a change-out and upgrade of all the electric and water meters. This effort is being done to allow the city to provide more accurate and timely meter reads, but also to provide customers with more detailed, and real-time information regarding their electric and water use.

Personnel performing these meter change-outs will be attempting to make contact with each customer prior to the change-out of their electric meter. Technicians will identify themselves, with a City of Coffeyville-issued Contractor ID Badge. Customers are encouraged to put their pets inside during meter change-outs, as meter technicians will not perform them while dogs are loose in the yard.
