The Mayor and Council of the Town of Zwolle is pleased to inform the citizens that a new meter system is going to be installed in the Town of Zwolle beginning the first of February and will take approximately 90 days to complete. The Meters will be installed in different parts of the Town each week. If you have a note on your door then your area will be having your meter changed out the following week and will also have a cut-off valve installed that you will be able to turn your water off in the event of a leak. After this system is fully operational you will notice that nobody from the town will be coming by each month to read your meter anymore. The system that is being installed will allow us to get your readings from within the Water Department Office.
