Where is my water meter?

You'll usually find your water meter under the kitchen sink where your water supply comes into your home. It could also be in an underground box in the garden, or the footpath outside your property (look for a small round plastic lid).

If your home was built in recent years, the meter may be in a box fitted to the outside wall of your property.
