The Berwick Electric Commision is currently working to replace meters that are at, or nearing, their expiration date. This is a requirement from Measurement Canada.

All electricity meters installed by utilities in Canada have a predetermined expiry period. When the existing meter seal expires it will be replaced by another tested and inspected meter.

Meter replacement takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, and will cause a momentary power interruption. Residents do not need to be home during the replacement process as electrical meters are located on the outside of customers' properties.
