The first consideration for the placement of the remote register location is accessibility. The second consideration is how the structure will accommodate the installation of the register cable. Presently the installers are instructed to install the register on either side of the house near the front corner or on the front of the house about four feet above the ground. Recently my ornamental plantings that border my house were damaged by the meter reader. The meter readers try thier best not to damage property and still read the meters in a timely manner.
Residents can help by keeping clear access to the remote register.
Both high and low plantings require pruning to achieve this access. Also, remember that in years of heavy snow, the meter reader cannot identify the locations of plantings under foot.
