Beginning April 8, 2025, City of Fairburn Utilities will be conducting a Water Meter Change-Out Program to replace 1,250 aged meters throughout the city. This project is essential to ensure accurate readings and improved service.
What to Expect:
The change-out will be conducted by Aqua Meter Consultants on behalf of Fairburn Utilities.
You may experience a temporary disruption of service during the change-out.
Meters are located outside of homes within the street right of way – no need to be home for the change-out.
Contractors will have proper identification and marked vehicles.
No technician will need to enter your home at any time.
You may receive a courtesy “knock-on-the-door” when the technician arrives.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to enhance your utility service!
For questions or concerns, please contact Fairburn Utilities at (770) 969-3481 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
