Water meters are usually located near your shut-off valve in the basement or crawl space. Sometimes they are near your hot water tank.
Reading your Water Meter
On the face of your meter you should see numbers inside a rectangle. Similar to the odometer in a car, read the number from left to right including all zeroes at the front.
Leaks and Other Concerns
If your recorded water use changes suddenly for no obvious reason (lawn watering, more people in the home, away for a long period of time, etc.) contact Energy + Inc. so it can be investigated.
If you think you have a leak, turn off all water-consuming appliances inside and outside your home. Read your meter. If the test dial (red triangle) on your meter is spinning, water is flowing through the meter. You may also want to monitor your meter reads overnight. Take a reading before you go to bed and first thing in the morning before you use any water. If the numbers have changed, there may be a leak somewhere in your home. Remember, toilets are the number one cause of leaks.
Report leaks at the water meter right away to the County of Brant Water Division.
