How can I check calibration of my water meter?

If you are questioning the accuracy of the water meter, there is a test that you can perform to check this. Perform the following steps:
* TO ENSURE TEST ACCURACY, PLEASE PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS BEFORE BEGINNING TEST*

Make sure that no water is being used at the time of the test (i.e. dishwasher, shower, faucet, toilet running etc.) Empty a 1 gallon container into the 5 gallon bucket 5 times and mark the top of the water level with a black permanent marker to determine exact level for 5 gallons of water in the bucket. Empty the bucket; and you are now ready to begin the test. ________________________________________________________

1. Run water from the hose bib until the sweep hand on the meter dial is located at "0." Have one person stationed at the meter to monitor this sweep hand. 2. Place a 5 gallon bucket underneath the outside hose bib, making sure that it is on level ground. 3. Fill the bucket to the 5-gallon level and shut the water off. 4. The sweep hand on the meter should now be located on the 5 representing 5 gallons of water has passed through the meter. If after you have completed the test and you still have questions or concerns; please feel free to contact our office for further assistance at (912) 265-2603.
