All homes should have
a shut-off valve located in the home. However, if your home does not have one,
you may, in an emergency, turn the water off at the water meter, generally
located at the front of the property near the road. Tools necessary are
a crescent wrench or meter wrench available at your local hardware
store. Locate valve (silver dollar sized, brass colored with a raised
bar in the center) place wrench over the raised bar and turn it to the right
until the "eyes" on the valve are aligned. Repair leak(s) and reverse process
to re-establish water service to the home.
-
The District
maintains the water lines up to and including
the meter. All plumbing after the meter
is the customer's responsibility. To
check for a possible leak on your side of the
meter turn all water off and check your meter
for movement. If it continues to move,
you may have a leak. For more detail see
the section below titled:
How
to Read Your Water Meter
Once a leak has been fixed and you have verified
that there is no movement on the meter, please
call Customer Service at 253-631-0565 to see
if you qualify for a one-time leak adjustment
on your bill.
-
Should you find water in your meter box, please
contact the district by
email
or call 253.631.0565.

Your
water meter will look like one
of these pictured below.
Reading your water meter is
like reading the odometer of
your car.
Read all of the numbers from
left to right that appear
under the words “Cubic Feet.”
The first digit on the right
represents one cubic foot.
The second from the right
represents 10 cubic feet. The
third from the right (usually
a different color) represents
100 cubic feet (one ccf)748
gallons.
One revolution of the meter
sweep hand equals one cubic
foot, or 7.48 gallons.
On the first meter, notice the
blue pin-wheel shaped
low flow indicator
to the left of the dial. If
you see this moving when all
of your water is turned off,
then you have a
slow leak.
On the second meter the little
triangle in the center of the
dial does the same thing. The
last meter pictured does not
have a low flow indicator.
Reading your meter yourself
can help you monitor your
water use, check for suspected
leaks, or experiment with
efficient landscape watering.
