Metering Residential Water

Water Meter

Wherever you find them, water meters encourage the consumer to save water. Metered households normally use about 28 percent less water than unmetered households paying according to a flat rate.

When all users pay the same, there is no motivation to avoid waste. Sometimes party beverages are cooled by letting the cold tap run in an open tub.
