Worcester County Public Works Water and Wastewater (WWW) Division staff will be replacing touch pad water meter registers in Ocean Pines, Mystic Harbour, and Newark water service areas now through the end of 2025 during normal business hours. Because water meter pits should always remain easily accessible, property owners in these areas are asked not to park over water meter pits, place mulch or any other covering over the lids, or erect yard decorations in areas that could block access to the meter pits.
This project is necessary to replace the existing touch-pad style water meters and associated reading equipment that are no longer supported or built by the manufacturer. WWW staff will be entering the yards of water users to access the meters. For more information, call WWW at 410-641-5251, Monday – Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
