Newmarket is moving into the second phase of its mandatory water meter replacement program. The new digital infrastructure will provide residents and the town better access to data to allow for the future ability to track and monitor usage and identify leaks and losses before they become a larger issue, the town said in a statement. The first phase began in March 2021 and upgraded water meters for about 7,000 households. The second phase of the program will replace water meters for about 18,000 homes.
