Water meter malfunction
After my town installed new meter, readings went from38,000- 43,000 down to 8,000. Town said I must have had a running toilet (for five years? ) Not so.
Question: Is it possible for a water meter to malfunction resulting an erroneous reading? I would greatly appreciate an answer, as I have been fighting the town for 5 years. When I suggested that the old meter malfunctioned, they said they would attempt to locate it, guess what, they were not successful. Another question, If it was not possible for a meter to malfunction, why would the town even bother to try to locate it? Thank you in advance for your assistance. |

You were paying for 40,000 gallons of water each month? I would have protested right away! Depending on the size of the household, you may have used 10_12,000 gallons per month. My wife and I shower every day, use the DW, washer every couple of days and never go over 6,000.
