Beginning Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026, Cornerstones MUD will begin a residential water meter replacement project. This project involves replacing older water meters with new smart meters.

Water meters measure the amount of water delivered to each customer. Upgrading to smart meters will improve reading accuracy, reduce maintenance needs, and allow customers to better monitor their water usage.

After installation, customers will be able to view their water usage data through the EyeOnWater platform, which includes:

  • Easy-to-understand graphs
  • Custom alerts, including potential leak detection
  • A secure online portal
  • A consumer smartphone app

Additional information on how to access the EyeOnWater portal will be shared after installation is complete.

We appreciate your patience during this important project. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Cornerstones MUD at (832) 490-1600.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How much will the new meter cost me?
    There is no charge for the new meter.
  2. Are the new meters the same as the ones being replaced?
    No. The new meters are compatible with an upgraded AMI system, provide improved accuracy, and replace meters that have exceeded their useful life.
  3. Who will install the meters?
    Accurate Meter & Supply will perform the meter replacements. All crew members will wear identification badges. Installation will take place over the next few months.
  4. Will my water service be interrupted?
    Yes. Water service will be temporarily interrupted for approximately 15–30 minutes during the meter replacement.
  5. Do I need to be home for the installation?
    No. Most work will be completed Monday–Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
  6. Is there anything I need to do after my meter is installed?
    Yes. Before using water, please flush your lines by running a cold-water bathtub faucet for 3–5 minutes or by using an outside faucet.
  7. Will my water bill increase?
    Possibly. Older meters can lose accuracy over time and may under-register water usage. The new meters provide more accurate readings, which could result in a higher bill for some customers.
  8. What if there is a leak or a problem after installation?
    Please contact Cornerstones MUD at (832) 490-1601.
