Water Metering
Water metering plays a key role in ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for the community in the long term.
The SCRD water meter program:
- Promotes water efficiency and conservation. Water metering is broadly accepted as a best management practice for water demand management.
- Helps with early leak detection, preventing property damage and water losses. In 2020, residential properties with a water leak unknowingly used about 4 times more water than the average home.
- Can offset costs. Water metering costs money, but so does treating and distributing water, and expanding our water supply. We need to continue balancing supply and demand to improve the resiliency of our current water system.
- Offers the opportunity for fair billing. With volumetric billing, you pay for what you use.
