It is very unlikely. Before a meter is installed, it must meet strict performance, reliability and accuracy standards, and while in use, meters are periodically checked by Liberty Utilities. If your meter is faulty, it's more likely that it is running slow rather than fast. Because meters are mechanical, as they age, they tend to run slower due to build-up on the operating parts.
For our electric customers, our service personnel will connect your service at your electric meter, which is located on the outside of your home. You do not have to be present. For natural gas customers, you will need to be present to meet an Liberty Utilties technician when turning on service.
During the weekends, we do not do routine service work.
