WATER METERS

Underground water meter vault under construction with blue water line, detector check assembly, and valves set inside a formed concrete structure with reinforcing steel, prepared for municipal water service connection.

Barnhart Excavating is a registered and approved water meter installer for multiple municipalities, including the City of Tulsa, Jenks, Bixby, and Sand Springs. We provide full service water meter installation, handling everything from standard residential connections to large commercial meter vaults and detector check systems. From tapping the main to final connection, we coordinate directly with municipalities to ensure every installation meets local requirements and keeps your project moving forward without delays.

Beyond the Standard Installation

Barnhart Excavating handles more than typical water meter installs. Our team completes complex service connections across a wide range of site conditions including long distance runs, boring under roads and obstacles, and difficult tie in scenarios. We perform installations for both city and non city systems, adapting to the requirements of each project.

In the City of Tulsa, we are certified to perform street cuts, utility tie ins, and full pavement restoration as part of our installations. That means we can open the road, complete the connection, and restore the surface all under one scope.

The result is fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and a cleaner path to completion.

Built to Keep Projects Moving

Water service installation is often on the critical path. Our team manages the process from tap to final connection, coordinating with municipalities and completing each step to required specifications.

Because we handle both the underground work and surface restoration when needed, there are no gaps in scope. The result is a smoother process and a project that stays on schedule.
