Water Meter Replacement

The Town of Silverthorne is working with a contractor to replace water meters. Installation typically takes less than an hour and residential water service will be interrupted for five to 10 minutes. Commercial customers may also experience water service interruptions during the installation. To update the water meters, the contractor will need access to the water meter at your property. Water meters are located inside, typically in a mechanical room or crawl space.

There is no cost to water customers to update their meter and there will be no change in water service. Learn more about replacing your water meter and how to schedule an appointment here. If an appointment is not available when you are home in Silverthorne, please contact the Town and we will work with you to replace your water meter.

Living with Bears

As bears prepare to hibernate for the winter, they will forage for up to 20 hours a day. During this time of year, it is important to be extra viligant about human and bear conflicts to keep bears from feeding on trash. When people allow bears to find food, a bear’s natural drive to eat can overcome its wariness of humans. Bears that get too comfortable around people can destroy property or even become a threat to human safety. Learn more about how to live safely with bears, and keep bears safe, by visiting the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website.
