WAC 173-173 lays out the requirements for installing meters. If you are responsible for reporting your water use, you must also ensure you have an approved measuring device installed or constructed in accordance with the manufacturer’s and/or designer’s specifications. This applies to both pressurized systems and open channel flows.
If you are unsure of the manufacturer’s specifications, you may consider hiring a professional vendor within your service area to install your meter. Examples of professional services that may sell or perform meter installations include (but are not limited to):
- Pipe and pump companies
- Irrigation specialists
- Instrument supply shops
- Water specialty companies
- Electric instrumentation supply
