PUBLIC NOTICE
Village of Pentwater - Department of Public Works
The Village of Pentwater Department of Public Works (DPW) would like to inform all residents that
we are currently upgrading our water-meter system. This project includes replacing outdated water
meters and installing new radio-read devices to improve accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in
our water-reading process.
There is no cost to customers for the replacement of outdated meters or the installation of the new
radio-read equipment. This is a system-wide upgrade being completed on behalf of the Village to
modernize our infrastructure and better serve the community.
As part of this work, DPW staff will need access to yards and meter locations. Please do not be
alarmed if you see DPW workers on your property; they are performing scheduled upgrade work. If
water service needs to be temporarily shut off during installation, staff will always make contact
with the resident first.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we complete these improvements. If you have
any questions, please contact the Village of Pentwater DPW at 231-742-2078
