Attention Off Post Leased Housing Tenants: Submit your Utility Meter Readings following the METER READING SIMPLIED GUIDANCE (ANNEX A to OPORD 26-005) in this post. Please send a picture of your meter and the meter reading info to the following email address: usarmy.bavaria.id-europe.list.dpw-publicutility@army.mil 

This is an annual requirement as a tenant of an off post leased housing residence. Help us help the Army save millions and put funds back into the mission and housing. 

Without meter readings, Host Nation utility companies estimate the consumption and charge at a higher usage and rate overall. Accurate reporting will immediately impact and reduce costs in 2026 and those funds will be transferred to the war fighter mission and housing vise the utility company.

• NEW 2 Detour: Follows the same routes, with access to Parkstein-Hütten remaining open.
