Meter readings estimated in Spanish Valley during January and February The Spanish Valley Water & Sewer Improvement District will be estimating meter readings during the months of December, January and February. Meters are not being read in order to avoid meter freeze ups during these cold months. In some cases, the estimating of meters may result in a slightly higher water bill in March when meters are again read. This will happen when the meter has been estimated lower than actual use. The estimating of meters will be done in such a manner that no customer will have to pay for any water not actually used. Spanish Valley Water hopes that any inconvenience that may be caused by the meter estimation will be more than made up for by the reduced number of freeze ups that will occur. For further information contact the Spanish Valley Water & Sewer Improvement District offices during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, at 3025 E. Spanish Trail Road, or call 259-812- 1.
