Replacing Galvanized Risers

Galvanized iron risers to hold water meters in meter pits were considered state-of-the-art between 1945 and 1965. About 23,000 were installed in Springfield. However, galvanized risers deteriorate with age and often break when meters are changed. As meters are changed, CWLP replaces galvanized risers with copper setters.
