5. How does an expansion tank work?

Most water systems today have a backflow preventer, a water meter with a check valve, or a check valve in the system which creates a closed loop system. When the water in your water heater heats up, it expands with no place to go except through the pressure relief valve. An expansion tank is installed on the cold water side to provide a reservoir for the expanding water. The water can safely be stored in the tank until its release. Example Link:

2. What is the encoder-receiver-transmitter and where is it located?

An encoder-receiver-transmitter (ERT) is a wholly contained electronic device designed to read the meter register and transmit the signal. The ERT can be found in several locations.

3. Does having the new automatic meter reading system mean I will never see the Maryville Water Department again?

No. Occasionally a Maryville Water Department field service technician may need to service the encoder-receiver-transmitter (ERT) or the meter if it isn't working properly. Additionally, we will have to change the battery in 15 to 20 years.

The biggest change is that the meter reader won't be coming by monthly to read your meter any more. You will continue to get your bill on the same schedule as before.

1. What is 9-1-1?

9-1-1 is a three-digit telephone number that you can call 24 hours a day for police, fire, or emergency medical services. According to nationwide statistics, it can take up to 2 1/2 minutes to find your telephone directory and another 30 seconds to locate the correct number. In an emergency, 3 minutes is a long time, time that can be saved by remembering to call 9-1-1.

2. When should I call 9-1-1?

9-1-1 is to be used for emergencies only. If you believe that you or someone else is in immediate danger, or there is threat to property, call 9-1-1.

3. When should I not call 9-1-1?

You should not call 9-1-1 to:

• Ask for directions
• Get your car unlocked (unless someone is trapped inside)
• Obtain weather reports
• Report power outages or water repairs
• Request general information

4. What do I need to do when I call 9-1-1?

9-1-1 is only a telephone number. Quick response depends on important information you provide the dispatcher. The 9-1-1 telecommunicator will ask you a series of questions. Remain calm and be prepared to provide the following:

• Location of your emergency - Your name, address, and telephone number appear on the computer terminal when you call 9-1-1, but this information must be verified for your sake and that of the patient
• Nature of your emergency
• Your telephone number - We need the number from which you are calling in case the connection is lost or we need to contact you again

If you are calling for a medical emergency, be prepared to provide the following additional information:

• What is wrong with the patient
• What is the age of the patient - Age is one determining factor for the type of response and type of treatment required (an infant choking would require a different response than an older patient)
• The gender of the patient
• Is the patient conscious or not?
• Is the patient breathing?
