City employees read meters
Employees of Stadtwerke Kaiserslautern and Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach, the city works in charge of electricity, gas and water, are currently visiting customers to read their meters.
Every meter reader has a company badge customers can ask to see. If meter readers won’t be able to reach customers at home, they will leave a message. Customers are asked to read the meters themselves and give the numbers, as soon as possible, back to Stadtwerke. Customers of Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach can email their meter readings to SK@Stadtwerke-Ramstein.de or visit www.stadtwerke-ramstein.de. Customers of Stadt-werke Kaiserslautern should email their meter readings to ablesung@swk-kl.de, visit www.swk24.de or call 0631-8001-1999. If customers don’t notify their city works, their consumption will be estimated.
Officials ask customers to remove all objects in front of the meters to make the reading as easy as possible.
