RWD #3 will utilize this website to keep our customers informed of the RWD #3 activities. There is a specific purpose and place for radio announcements such as boil orders and individual letters addressed to each customer but the cost of  mailing does not justify the expense when we can utilize our own personal webpage to put out general customer information. 

Keep your account information current. That means, current mailing address, email address, home phone and cell phone numbers. 

Save this website as one of your favorites and visit it frequently. Cruise the website, click on each link and get familiar with the content on this webpage.

Dear Customers,

Please find the new residential meter rates, effective January 2020, below. Thank you and have a happy New Year!

Below are two links that are interesting and fun to check out and understand the effort behind delivering water to the faucet.

During the course of the year, a few customers will have a meter pit replaced due to damage caused by negligence. The most common is cattle pushing the meter pit lid off and stepping in the meter pit, bending the riser. 

RWD #3 will bill the customer for the damage as outlined on page 21 of the RWD BYLAWS and R&R......"Consumer's Responsibility The Consumer shall be responsible for any damage to service equipment installed by the District for his service, on account of any cause other than normal wear and tear."

The RWD BYLAWS and R&R are available here /Portals/russell3/documents/CustomerService/BY-LAWS.pdf again refer to page 21

The best solution to prevent meter pit damage and receiving a bill from the RWD for the repairs is to erect a simple barricade around the meter pit. Keep in the mind that the barricade must allow easy access to the meter pit for customer readings and audit readings from RWD personnel.
