Meter Testing Is Required

The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission requires Pennichuck to periodically test every one of its meters. This ensures meter accuracy.

The entire test takes about 60 minutes.  There is no cost to you, the customer. Your cooperation in this testing process is absolutely necessary for us to comply with NHPUC regulations. So, when a representative from our Customer Service Department calls to make an appointment with you for meter testing - your assistance is essential. Thanks in advance for helping us.
