Use your meter to
check for Leaks.  

1. Locate your water
meter
2. Open the lid. There
is a red triangle on
the face of the meter.
As long as there is no
water being used, the
triangle should not
spin or move.

IF it is moving, there
is water being lost
through a leak.
_________

Remember, leaks
don't go away on
their own, they only
get worse with time.

OLD VALVE                                                                                    NEW VALVE
NEW MAIN LINE VALVE INSTALLED FIRST OF
2008
New water main valve installed at the intersection of Blue Ridge Blvd. and Woodson
Rd. January 18, 2008.  The blustery wind and snow did not stop our crew from
completing a difficult and mammoth task timely.  This insured  better water control
for the area such as Hidden Lake Community.
"Different ways to help our Community"
Did you know:
  • that Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a fund administered by the Mid-
    America Assistance Coalition in Kansas City.  It's sole purpose is to
    provide financial assistance to those struggling to pay their utility
    bills.  816-561-2727
  • you can help your local school by recycling your old newspapers and
    magazines.  There are PAPER RECYCLE containers located at each
    school.  The school uses the $ earned to offset the rising costs of
    materials needed to maintain the high quality education and help keep
    the school taxes down. NOT only are you helping our future generation
    with education, you are helping save our environment by recycling.  
  • FUN FACTS ABOUT RECYCLING:
  1. The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood,
    and other products made from trees. This amounts to about
    2,000,000,000 trees per year!
  2. The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of
    paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
  3. To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must
    be cut down.

  • that Raytown has a local assistance program for people in need of
    financial assistance to pay Utilities?  REAP (Raytown Emergency
    Assistance Program) provides food/funds and also accepts donations.  
    For contributions or assistance information, call 816-356-0054 , visit the
    website www.raytownreap.org, or contact City of Raytown

  • you can help your local school by collecting and donating used ink
    cartridges and General Mills product BOX TOPS for Education.  The
    school redeem the box tops and uses the funds to buy new computers,
    books and playground equipment for their students. Funds generated
    from the collections help to keep our school taxes down and keep our
    education levels up.
