New Water Meter Program

THANK YOU to more than 1,000 residents who have signed up for the new AMR Meters. This transition has been made as convenient as possible for the homeowners, it has shown savings in their water bills because of leak detection built in to the meter, and the convenience of not having to deal with reading their meter. Until your new water meter is installed, PLEASE continue to send in meter readings via meter cards, internet, or phoning in your reading. We appreciate every effort of the community.

Water Meter Policy

All new water customers can be charged the cost of new water meter service. Replacement or conversion of existing water meters will be charged as follows:

¾” Water Meters: Customer will pay $50.00, which will be invoiced at $10.00 per quarter for five (5) quarters, $25 per quarter for two (2) quarters or paid in full @ $50 on one quarterly bill.

Water Service Compliance Inspections are required when homes transfer ownership. Homeowners should contact the water district, in a timely manner, before they request a final meter reading, to be sure their water service is in compliance.

Water Department History

The Cambria Water District covers the entire Town of Cambria and is located in central Niagara County. In 1964 application was filed for approval of plans of the Town for establishment of a Water Distribution System. The Town of Cambria is primarily a rural and residential area. The population in 1964, according to the 1960 census was 3,661. Current population is 5,393 (2000 Census).

Water for the system is supplied through the Niagara County Water District and is taken from the west branch the Niagara River and pumped across the northern end of Grand Island to the treatment plant. From this treatment plant the water is pumped to the transmission and distribution mains of the County water district and its associated Town water districts.

Original waterline constructed in 1964 was 169,000 feet. Today the Town maintains 357,777 feet, with an additional 64,736 feet of lines that are jointly owned with the Niagara County Water District and neighboring towns.

For specific water treatment information see our Consumer Confidence Report (CCR).

Our Water Department must obtain meter readings four (4) times a year. For your convenience, it is now possible to E-mail us your meter reading. When you receive the meter reader card in the mail, simply fill in your meter numbers on the meter card on our website, and E-mail it.

In 1976 the Town established a Sewer District that extends from Upper Mountain Road south. Three (3) Niagara County interceptors presently service the Town of Cambria. The Town has a collection system in a limited area of our Sewer District that is comprised of both gravity and pressure sewers.
