WHO NEEDS A SUB METER:
The City of Saco Water Resource Recovery Department allows the use of subtractive water meters to record water that does not enter the city sewer system, such as: lawn watering, washing vehicles, and filling swimming pools. The same may apply for businesses with irrigation systems. 

COST:
Subtractive meters may be purchased through Maine Water Company. The cost of the meter is $25.00.

WHAT TO DO:

  • Subtractive meters may be purchased at Maine Water Company located at 93 Industrial Park Road in Saco.
  • Have the meter installed in the location measuring only outside water use (by your plumber or yourself.)
  • Contact the Water Resource Recovery Department for post installation inspection.
HOW TO GET CREDIT: 
Please call 207.282.1543 to submit your subtractive meter reading prior to paying your July and October sewer bill. Your adjustment will be made and you will be contacted with the adjusted amount to be paid. 

SWIMMING POOLS
If you have recently installed and filled a swimming pool but did not know about the abatement until after, you can submit a copy of the pool paperwork showing the dimensions and the installation date. You must also purchase a subtractive meter, have it installed, and inspected; prior to a receiving a credit.

BILLING AND PAYMENT QUESTIONS
If you have any questions regarding sewer billing (usage, credits, etc) and payments, please contact Maine Water Company at 207.282.1543.
