About This Service
The water meter is where your property's plumbing meets the water authority's supply. We install water meters and new water connections, and run the water service from the meter to the house. That comes up on new builds, knock-down rebuilds, granny flats, dual occupancies and subdivisions, and when an old water service needs replacing. New connections to the water main and new meters are arranged with your water authority, such as Sydney Water, and may need their approval or an application first. We tell you what applies to your property before we start, and give you a fixed price.

New builds and knock-down rebuilds
A new home needs a water connection and meter, and the water service run to the house.
Granny flats and dual occupancies
Depending on the project, a second dwelling may share the existing water service or have its own. It's worth working out early, because it affects where pipes go.
Subdivisions
Each new lot generally needs its own water connection and meter, arranged with the water authority.
Replacing an old water service
Old water services can leak underground or give poor flow. Replacing the line from the meter to the house fixes both.
Your Water Meter: Good to Know
Where it is
In most Sydney homes the meter is near the front boundary, often in a small pit with a lid. The main stop tap is beside it.
Who looks after what
Generally the water authority looks after the meter and its supply side, and the property owner looks after the pipes on the house side. If you're unsure who's responsible for a leak near the meter, ask us or your water authority.
Use it to check for leaks
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, note the reading, and check again after an hour or two. If it has moved, there's a leak.
Keep it accessible
Keep the meter and stop tap clear of plants, mulch and pavers, so you can turn the water off quickly in an emergency.

There's water leaking near my meter. Who do I call?
If the leak is on the house side of the meter, it's a job for your plumber. If it's at the meter or on the street side, it's usually the water authority's. If you're not sure, call us and we'll take a look.
