Thanks for contacting us regarding a water meter fault. We aim to assess within 18 days.
18 days?
If the leak is on their side of the meter, as in the water pipe attaching the meter, they won’t fix it unless it is pissing out.
If it is the pipe attaching after/at the tap, good luck with getting them to fix it.
It's the connection between the tap and the meter. Excellent.
Good luck with that.
Report back next year when they reply to you
Mine is leaking at the meter tap which doesn’t cost me anything as the meter isn’t reading it yet.
I logged it with SAWater and they told me to let it water the grass as it wasn’t costing me anything.
Too bad about preserving water though.
I enquired about getting my meter elevated 100-150mm as the reading is just above the soil line. The robbers estimated $800-$1000.
