My meter is making a strange noise, is this normal?

When water is being drawn into the home it is normal to hear some low ticking at the meter, but it should not be loud enough to be disruptive.  A meter makes a certain amount of noise due to its moving parts.  When water comes into the meter it pushes a piston around a fixed point which in turn moves a magnet that moves a dial.   If your meter is making enough noise to cause a disturbance in the dwelling then please call our office at 508-533-3208 and we will send a technician to inspect your meter and potentially swap in a new one.
