How is water measured?

 

Meterleak.gif (7865 bytes)Water is measured by a device called a "water meter", which range in size from 3/4" to 6". Water meters are similar to reading an odometer in a car.

To find out how much water was used since last month’s meter reading, just subtract the reading on last month’s water bill from today’s meter reading.

Meters can also be used to detect and measure leaks and/or plumbing problems on a property.
