The Water Meter Work We Do
The meter tap and the pipes that are yours to fix, priced before any work starts.
Leaking Meter Taps
Water dripping from the meter tap or the fittings around it. The meter tap is private pipework, so it is the owner's to fix, and we repair or replace it.
Seized Or Snapped Meter Taps
A meter tap that won't turn, won't fully shut off, or has been snapped by a mower or a car. We replace it, and where the water can't be shut off before the tap, we freeze the pipe so the job can be done.
Main To Meter Pipe Repairs
A leak on the pipe from the street to the meter. Sydney Water repairs it for free up to one metre inside your boundary; further in, the repair is the owner's, and we dig down to the pipe and fix it.
Leaks After The Meter
Water bubbling up in the lawn or a burst pipe along the side of the house. Every pipe after the meter is the owner's, and we find the leaking pipe and repair it.
Meter Moving With Taps Off
If the dial keeps turning with every tap off, water is escaping somewhere, often a toilet that keeps running. We track it down with dye testing and leak detection.
How Bad Is Your Water Meter Problem?
Three water meter problems, from most to least urgent, and what to do about each.
Water Pouring Out Around The Meter
Turn the meter tap off first. If that stops the water, the leak is on your side of the meter, so call us. If water keeps coming from the meter itself or the pipe before the tap, call Sydney Water on 13 20 90, any time.
A Wet Patch Or A Stiff Meter Tap
A patch of lawn or footpath that never dries, or a meter tap that won't turn. Book a repair now, because the meter tap is the one you need to work in an emergency.
A Water Bill Higher Than Usual
A bill much higher than usual means water is going somewhere, often a toilet that keeps running or a dripping tap. Check the meter with every tap off, then book a leak check.

Water Meter Repair FAQs
Answer:
It depends on whether it is the meter tap or a pipe, how deep the pipe is and whether it has to be frozen to do the work. We find the leak first, then give you one fixed price to approve before any work starts. There is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours.
Answer:
Sydney Water owns the water main and the water meter and looks after both. The meter tap is part of the private pipework, and the pipes and fittings from the main to the house are the property owner's. Sydney Water repairs a problem between its main and the meter for free up to one metre inside the property boundary.
Answer:
You can turn the meter tap off to stop a leak on your side of the meter. Repairs to the meter tap and the pipes are licensed plumbing work, and the meter itself belongs to Sydney Water, so a leak from the meter is theirs to fix.
Answer:
Call Sydney Water on 13 20 90 if the leak is from the meter itself, or from the pipe between their main and the meter within a metre inside your boundary. If the leak is further inside the property than that, the pipe is yours to fix, and a licensed plumber repairs it.
Answer:
Main to meter is the pipe that runs from Sydney Water's main, usually under the street or footpath, to your water meter. Where a leak on it is more than a metre inside the property boundary, it is the owner's pipe to repair.
Answer:
Turn off every tap, check no toilet is filling and nothing like a washing machine or sprinkler is running, then write down the numbers on the meter. Wait an hour without using any water and read it again. If the numbers have moved, water is leaking somewhere after the meter.
Answer:
Meter taps are hardly ever used, so the washer and spindle can seize or wear out, and a tap forced too hard can break. A meter tap that won't shut off is worth replacing before you need it in an emergency.
Answer:
No. The meter belongs to Sydney Water, which replaces meters that have stopped, been damaged, become too old or registered the maximum water use. If your meter is broken or damaged, call Sydney Water on 13 20 90. We repair and replace the meter tap and the pipes on your side of it.
