Installing a Water Meter.

You already know that water meters are used by water companies to monitor the water usage at a home or business. Even when a qualified licensed plumber in Chattanooga installs your new water meter, the water company will probably send a representative to ensure that the installation has been done correctly.

Here are some of the steps to take for successful installation –

 

1. Contact the water company and follow the instructions.
2. Find the water supply and the shut-off valve.
3. Install the water meter on the inlet pipe.
4. Wrap Teflon tape around the threads on the connection point.
5. Reopen the valve on the water supply pipe.
