If you’ve looked everywhere—including the weird little hatch behind the ivy and the utility closet next to your neighbor’s cat—it’s okay to call for backup. Your local utility company can send someone out for free. They know where the meters are because they installed them.
Just remember: finding your water meter is like finding a lost earring. It’s annoying, it’s a little sweaty, but when you finally spot it, you feel like a water wizard. You’ll never look at your driveway the same way again.
So go on. Channel your inner detective. Put on some sturdy shoes, grab a flashlight, and prepare to greet your water meter. It’s not glamorous, but it’s your meter. And it’s been waiting for you this whole time.
