Trouble in Hamm: Problems when replacing electricity meters cause a standstill!
Published: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 11:04 am
An extensive project is currently underway in Hamm in which thousands of electricity meters are to be replaced. However, this project is experiencing difficulties as there have been complaints about the company commissioned. The municipal utilities have responded to these problems and are temporarily pausing the replacement of electricity meters.
Hamm municipal utilities are currently working in many households to replace old electricity meters with new ones. This measure is necessary to comply with current standards and to ensure that all meters are calibrated regularly. However, due to complaints about the service provided by the company commissioned, the municipal utility spokeswoman has announced that they will stop working with this service provider for the time being and look for a permanent solution.
Continued water and gas meter changes
While the replacement of the electricity meters is stalled, the replacement of the water and gas meters is continuing as planned. Another company, Helbeck and Kusemann, works here, and the cooperation seems to be running smoothly and trustingly. The municipal utilities advise citizens to continue to allow employees access to their homes.
The background to this obligation to regularly check meters is the calibration periods: These specify the intervals at which meters must be checked and replaced. There are currently around 41,400 water meters and over 113,400 electricity meters in use in Hamm. To ensure everything works properly, timely replacement is essential.
This situation is a top priority for the municipal utilities, as the reliability and accuracy of the measuring devices is crucial for customers' billing and energy consumption. It is therefore hoped that the problems with the service provider will be clarified quickly so that the exchange plan can be resumed soon. For further information and updates on the situation, the Hamm municipal utilities can be reached via their channels, and current developments are also reported by the media, such as www.lippewelle.de, reported regularly.
