Two smart boxes CLEAN have been installed on water meter brackets to correct a VCM rate higher than usual. The problem was solved thanks to a 500 liters daily purge for the first valve and a 2m3 daily purge for the second one. Those installations balanced the poor draft in this pipes from before 1980's.
