- filter the Constituent name column on the old owner
- select the record, right-click, select View Water Master
- change Meter Status to Off (towards bottom of the screen)
- Save
- click Meter Master View button (towards bottom of the screen)
- select the Serial Number, then Copy (this number will be used later)
- put "prior" at the end of the serial number
- Save
- close the browser tab (this will take you back to the Water Master)
- close this browser tab (this will take you back to the Water Table)
In the Water table, click Add (top-right)
