REMC news meter 11-1-18Marshall County REMC will begin replacing their current meter system this month. It is expected to take four months to change out all of the meters served by Marshall County REMC.

Replacing your meter will only take a few minutes. You may notice a brief interruption in power during the exchange. Reliability and electric service will not be affected, and there is no cost to you for this replacement.

The new meters will provide better communication and data resulting in quicker outage restoration time. Interval data will provide members and Marshall County REMC with more information on use, meter tampering alerts and outages.

Another important step to updating the meter system included replacing the old communications tower.
