On Monday, Aug. 4, Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program started accepting applications from low- income seniors for grants to help strengthen their homes against storm damage. The program offers free home inspections and funding to improve features such as roofs, windows and doors, helping homes better withstand hurricanes. Qualified homeowners can receive up to $10,000 in matching funds. For every $1 a homeowner spends, the state contributes $2. These improvements may reduce insurance premiums and minimize costly storm repairs.
WATER METER UPGRADES BEGIN THIS WEEK A citywide project to replace more than 13,000 residential water meters, nearly half of all meters in Daytona Beach, began this week. The city has partnered with VEPO Metering to complete the upgrades, starting on the beachside where approximately 2,550 meters will be installed. The new meters feature advanced technology that delivers more precise readings and detailed consumption data. Because older meters often report water usage inaccurately, some customers may notice a change in their water bills once the new meters are in place.
• Contractor Information: VEPO Metering, contracted by the city, will perform the replacements. Installers will wear branded shirts, display vehicle magnets and carry identification badges. They are not authorized to enter your home. • Work Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information and FAQs, visit www.DaytonaBeach.gov/MeterReplacement or call (386) 671-8100.
WHAT TO EXPECT: • Advance Notice: Residents will receive a door hanger at least 72 hours before their meter is replaced. • No Home Entry: Installers will not need to enter your home at any point. • Temporary Disruption: Water service will be interrupted for 30 minutes to 1 hour during installation. • After Installation: Water service will resume immediately. A door hanger will be left confirming the meter replacement is complete.
