Employees start reading meters
Employees of Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach, city works, will start reading the electricity, gas and water meters as of now. If customers are not available during normal working times, readers will also come early in the evening or on weekends.
Every meter reader has a company badge card customers can ask for. If meter readers won’t be able to reach customers at home, they will leave a message with the meter numbers in the mailbox. Customers are asked to read the meters themselves and give the message, as soon as possible, back to Stadtwerke. They can also email it to SK@Stadtwerke-Ramstein.de or visit www.stadtwerke-ramstein.de. If customers don’t notify Stadtwerke, their consumption will be estimated. Officials ask customers to remove all things in front of the meters to make the reading as easy as possible. (Courtesy of Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach)
