Mandatory Water Meter Replacement in Franklin Township: What Commercial Property Owners Need to Know

Franklin Township has launched a township-wide mandatory water meter replacement program, currently focused on residential customers—with over 7,800 homeowners receiving official notices to schedule no-cost installations. While the residential rollout is well underway, approximately 700 commercial properties in the township are expected to be included in this same initiative.

At Tech Services of NJ, we recently completed a commercial water meter replacement project in Franklin Township and want to help other businesses prepare for what’s next.

What Does This Mean for Commercial Properties?

Although formal letters have not yet been widely distributed to commercial property owners, early indicators—including conversations with township partners—strongly suggest that businesses will also be required to replace their water meters as part of this upgrade effort.

Here’s What You Should Expect:

✅ Mandatory Participation

• Just like residential customers, commercial water customers will likely be required to comply with the meter replacement program.
• The initiative aims to modernize the township’s water infrastructure for accuracy, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

🔧 Scheduling & On-Site Work

• If you receive a letter from the township for your business commercial water meter replacement, give Tech Services of NJ a call.
• You’ll need to schedule an appointment and ensure a qualified staff member or building representative is present during the visit.
• Appointments are typically booked in 4-hour time blocks, with live notifications when a technician is en route.

🏢 Operational Considerations

• Ensure clear access to water meters inside your property.
• For multi-unit, industrial, or large commercial buildings, coordination with building management or maintenance staff may be necessary.
• Installations are generally straightforward but may cause brief water service interruptions.
