Water Meters

Water meters measure the volume of water used by a household in kilolitres. A water meter is not only useful to Water & Waste in determining your bill; it can be an effective tool in your personal effort to conserve two precious resources: safe drinking water and your hard-earned money.

For your reference: 1 Kilolitre = 1000 litres.

If you learn to read your meter, you can set your own water conservation goals, detect leaks and learn a lot about your water usage. By implementing a simple conservation program, you can save water and the energy required to heat it. Furthermore, you can help ease the environmental burdens associated with water storage, purification, distribution and treatment.
