Water Meters
Most properties in Wilmette have a remote reading device attached to the indoor water meter. These remote devices are subject to the elements and have a tendency to slow down or completely stop metering. In all instances when a remote reading differs from an inside reading, the inside reading is considered the accurate measure of consumption.
It is each customer's responsibility to check for differences between inside and outside meter readings. For any questions or concerns related to water meters (i.e. a leaking meter, a difference between their inside and outside meter, unusual noises, etc.) or pertaining to water quality, the water customer should contact the Wilmette Water Plant directly at 847-853-7535.
Final Water Meter Reads
Property owners should contact the Finance Department at 847-853-7620 to schedule final meter reading. Final reads are conducted on an as needed basis and should be scheduled two weeks prior to the required read date.
Final meter reads are required when a home is being sold.
Water Bill Name Changes
New home owners should contact Finance Department to establish the new account is in the proper name.
Tenants who are responsible for their water bills should follow similar procedures. Note - all landlords should notify the water billing clerk if a particular property is being leased so that we can apprise them, as well as the tenant, of any issues pertaining to their account.
