MLGW meter readers will be out on Saturday, January 11

January 6, 2025

Memphis Light, Gas and Water will read about 2,400 residential meters in Midtown, Orange Mound and a portion of South Memphis, west of Interstate 240, on Saturday, January 11.

Meter readings are typically done on weekdays, but MLGW occasionally schedules Saturday readings to prevent extended billing cycles. Other Saturday meter reading dates in 2025 are October 25 and December 13.

To ensure accurate reading and avoid estimated bills, please make sure our meter readers have clear access to your meters. If your meter is behind a locked gate, ensure it is unlocked, and please secure any pets during this time.

Authorized meter readers will always carry MLGW badges to identify themselves as utility employees.

With a smart meter, you won't need to worry about extended billing cycles as usage data is transmitted to MLGW daily, eliminating the need for manual meter readings.

If you would like a smart meter installed to avoid the inconvenience of unlocking your gate or securing your pets, contact the Customer Care Center at 901-544-6549.
