water meter
Household usage tracker
A water meter is a device that measures the volume of water flowing through a pipe, typically installed where a water main enters a building.
Utilities use water meters to calculate bills based on actual consumption rather than flat rates.
The plumber located the leak by checking the water meter while all faucets were off.
