The average family of four uses between 8,900 to 11,350 litres (1958 to 2496 gallons) of water each week. Knowing how to read your water meter will allow you to monitor your own water consumption and at the same time detect any leaks in your household plumbing. Your water bill is based on your water consumption, so the repair of small leaks in your plumbing system now, will save you money.
What follows is some useful information on how to use your water meter to your advantage. We assume you have a newer (metric) water meter. If you have an older meter which measures in gallons, the same facts apply, but the measurements will be in gallons instead of metres.
