How to Read Your Water Meter

There are several reasons why you want to be able to locate and read your water meter. First, you might be interested in just how much water you use in a day. By reading your meter at the beginning and the end of the day you can compare the two totals to tell how much water you and your family used. Second, you can check for leaks. If you turn off all the taps in your house, and your meter is still turning, chances are you have a leak somewhere. Here are some hints to help you find and read your water meter.
