Item 4.  Changes In Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

        On April 2, 2004, Itron, Inc. Incentive Savings Plan (the Plan),  acting
        with authority from its  Administrative  Fiduciary  Committee  dismissed
        Berreth,  Lochmiller  and  Associates  PLLC  as the  Plan's  independent
        accountants, effective immediately.

        Berreth,   Lochmiller  and  Associates  PLLC's  reports  on  the  Plan's
        financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
        2001 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer opinion,  and were not
        qualified  or modified  as to  uncertainty,  audit  scope or  accounting
        principles,  except as permitted by  CFR2520.103-8  of the Department of
        Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and  Disclosure  under the
        Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

        There have been no disagreements with Berreth, Lochmiller and Associates
        PLLC on any matter of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
        statement  disclosure  or  auditing  scope or  procedure.  A letter from
        Berreth, Lochmiller and Associates PLLC is attached as Exhibit 16.

        During the years ended  December 31, 2002 and 2001, and through the date
        of this Form 8-K,  there have been no  reportable  events (as defined in
        Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

        On April 6, 2004, the Plan engaged the accounting firm of Moss Adams LLP
        as its new independent accountants for the year ended December 31, 2003.
        During the years ended  December  31, 2002 and 2001,  or the  subsequent
        interim period through April 6, 2004, the Plan did not consult with Moss
        Adams LLP regarding:  (i) the application of accounting  principles to a
        specified  transaction  either  completed or proposed;  (ii) the type of
        audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan's financial statements;
        or (iii) any  matter  that was the  subject of a  disagreement  with the
        Plan's former accountants or a reportable event (as contemplated by Item
        304 of Regulation S-K).
