Report damaged water meters

Your property's water meter is essential for us to accurately measure and charge for your water use.  Please contact us if you have identified the need for any meter maintenance or repairs.  

Can you see any physical signs of damage to the water meter? This may include: 

  • Smashed glass on the meter face
  • You are unable to see/read the water meter dials and numbers on the meter face 
  • You can’t turn the meter stop valve to stop the flow of water to your property  

Our team will investigate the issue and either repair or replace the meter.
