🚰 Attention Bedford Residents 🚨
Over the next few weeks, crews from Texas Meter and Device (TMD) will be replacing water meters across the city. Workers will wear yellow vests with “TMD” on the back and drive TMD-logoed vehicles.

Some meters have stopped transmitting water usage data to Utility Billing, so they’ll be updated to ensure accurate billing.

⏳ What to expect:

Minimal disruption (5-10 minutes max)
Crews working Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM
The project will last about 90 days
Thank you for your patience as Bedford continues improving its services! 💧
