Tampering Violations
It is unlawful to tamper with any of the utility fixtures that service your property. Water meters, chambers and antennae are the property of Provo Water Company. Tampering incurs a fine of $500.
Examples of a tampering violation:
- Damaging or attempting to remove antennae
- Water usage without applying for service
- Turning water services on without authorization from PWC
- Installation of an unauthorized meter
- Installing any foreign apparatus to attempt to stop or alter the metering of water
- Removing or modifying any of the utility’s fixtures such as a meter or meter lock
Please note that tampering with the antennae will not stop your water meter from logging your usage.
