The Delta Township Utility Department has installed remote readers to collect readings for billing purposes since 2011. These crème colored plastic boxes are attached to the outside of customer homes. These devices have the name SENSUS on the front surface. The Utility Department is currently working on installing blue tags on these devices that are labeled “Delta Twp Water Dept”. Each remote reader is wired directly to the water meter located inside customer homes to obtain the meter readings.

It is common to have contractors discard these devices while doing work or upgrades to the outside surface of the home. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure contractors do not damage or discard these devices. The replacement cost for damaged or missing devices is the responsibility of the customer or property owner.

Any customer that needs to temporarily remove the remote reader due to exterior work being done to the home, please contact the Utility Department for assistance in the removal and subsequent reattachment once work is completed.

If you notice the wire running from the reader to the meter is cut or damaged, please contact the Utilities Department to schedule a time for one of the Utility Servicemen to repair the device.  If you have any questions regarding this device, please contact the Utility Department at (517)323-8570.

Now that the snow has arrived, Delta Township property owners are reminded that they need to make arrangements to clear the snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property.  Section 34-92  of the Delta Township Code of Ordinances requires that snow and ice be removed from the sidewalk within 24 hours of a snowfall. The code applies even if the property is vacant or the building on the premises is unoccupied.
