# Water meter leak test calculator

Close every tap and water-using appliance, take one meter reading, wait with nothing used, then take a second. Enter both readings below.

Estimated leak per day

600 litres

Water used during the test

50 L

Over 30 days

18 m³

Movement with every tap closed points to a leak after the meter (owner's side in landed houses). Check toilet cisterns and the tank overflow first, then read the Pipe Leaks guides.

**Estimate only.** Applies to landed houses with their own meter. In high-rise units, ask building management about your meter. If you have a roof tank, wait until it has finished refilling before the first reading. Read the full guide:
