For a detailed explanation of how to read your water meter and its indications of water use and the units of measurement for metered consumption, check out the following link to the educational material on “How to Read Your MWA Water Meter.”

How to Locate a Leak

For information on how to determine if there is a water leak on the customer’s side of the MWA water meter, check out the following link to the educational material on https://maconwater.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/MWA_How_to_Locate_a_Leak-1.pdf
