The open houses will provide residents, business owners, municipal officials and other interested parties details about the upcoming installation of smart meters, including its scope of work, timeline and customer impacts. Approximately 88,400 customers in NYSEG’s Brewster division, which includes portions of Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties, will have smart electric and natural gas meters installed over the next year.

Smart meter installations will begin in early 2023, and NYSEG expects to complete installations in the Brewster division next summer. Deployment schedules by service area may change.
