MeterFest
Attention DO & Temp Lake Monitors: Is your DO meter in need of a check-up?
Don’t miss out on MeterFest 2022!
Please send your Dissolved Oxygen (DO) meter in for its free annual checkup.
Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) and Maine DEP (DEP) will check the condition and operation of your dissolved oxygen meter at no charge at this year’s annual MeterFest, and will conduct routine maintenance to the extent possible. We will also test the equipment in the lab and evaluate the performance of the meter.
Because of challenges raised from COVID-19 and the implementation of social distancing, MeterFest 2022 will be similar to the ‘20 and ‘21 approach. In order to reduce transmission of the virus, all meters must be shipped to the Department of Environmental Protection office in Augusta, preferably such that they arrive the week of April 4th.
This downloadable document provides instructions and has shipping labels for you to use when sending your DO Meter to DEP. Please note that DEP prefers that you use UPS or FedEx, if possible. The return shipping label must be filled out and include with your meter so it can be sent back to you. You will also be asked to send in the first few profiles you collect again.
