Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 10, 2015 10:54 am Hi all - have had my water meter stolen twice now which I have to pay for. I've talked to someone living in my estate who says they had theirs stolen after they moved in as well. I've googled this issue to try and come up with a solution as to how to secure it, but there's nothing. If the problem is so prevalent, I can't understand why no-one has come up with a way to stop it. Does anyone know of how I could secure the water meter so it's not stolen? cheers and thanks!

No idea on price or anything, just a google result. Re: Stolen Water Meter 4Jun 10, 2015 4:57 pm I have also been advised by Yarra Valley Water in Melbourne of another device from company Select Solutions of a securing clamp with security screws that prevents access to the large nut that secures the meter to the pipework. The cost was about $15. Re: Stolen Water Meter 5Jun 10, 2015 5:02 pm I am more concerned about what would you do with a stolen water meter? Where would you use it? Strange world we live in. Though would have thought the meter would be owned by the water company and forms part of their contract to provide water to you. Re: Stolen Water Meter 6Jun 10, 2015 5:11 pm i would wrap around meter with foam, like expansion joint foam then pour concrete around it a few inches thick leaving top exposed more as a deterrent than anything else and could easily be broken off if you ever need to gain access Re: Stolen Water Meter 7Jun 10, 2015 5:15 pm I believe the reason these and the taps are stolen is due to copper inside them?

Allows you to steal water. Your meter gets read on say June 30, you know the next reading isn't until the end of the next quarter. Pop the stolen meter on, use all you want and in 2\2.5 months swap it back to your original one and you will get billed for hardly any water use.
