Is there a leak? How much water does my dishwasher use? How many gallons per minute does my irrigation system use? These are questions your water meter can help answer.  We use your water meter to generate a bill each quarter.  A lot of things can happen during the quarter that will influence your water bill.  A leak could develop and go unnoticed until the bill arrives or a child returns home from school increasing your normal water usage.  This guide will help you locate your water meter, describe how it works and show you a few ways to make the most use of your water meter.

How much water does Topsfield use?  Below is a chart that shows how much water was used on a daily basis for the past few weeks. The totals include all of the water consumed including water used by customers, leakage, flushing and fire fighting.  The volumes on this chart are calculated using pump flow and tank level data from our control system.  System demand is calculated by correcting withdrawal volumes for changes in storage tank levels.
