To obtain a hydrant meter to be used at a job site within the limits of the Village of Romeoville, please follow the following process:

1. Contact the Village of Romeoville Public Works Department at 815-886-1870 to ensure the adequate meter is available for your use.

   • You will be required to provide the estimated time frame the meter will be used for.

3. Once the approval has been received from the Water Superintendent, a Hydrant Meter Issuance Form needs to be completed and submitted to the Romeoville Public Works Department online. There is also a $500 deposit required. Please make check payable to the Village of Romeoville. (If the meter will be used for any length longer than 3 months, a new check will need to be provided to the Village of Romeoville every 3 months.)
4. Once the work is completed at your job site, the meter should be returned to the Romeoville Public Works Department. At this time, the deposit check will be returned and the company will be invoiced for the water used on the meter.
