Installing / Removing A Meter
The installation of a meter is a small part of the process of starting / stopping service. This process begins when a customer requests service at a metered service point that is, at present, without service. It continues with the creation of a field activity required to connect service. When the system is advised of the results of the field activity, it creates a SP / Meter history record (which you can see on this page).
The removal of a meter from a service point involves an exactly analogous process where you use the SP / Meter Installation page to indicate when the meter was removed (and the dial readings at that time).
The remainder of this section is limited to a discussion about how to use the SP / Meter Installation page.

For more information about how the results of a field activity are advised to the system, refer to How Does A Field Order Get Completed?.
