How Can I Tell if my Water Meter is Broken?

The City of Waltham utilizes positive displacement water meters. This type of water meter measures flow only when water passes through it. If a meter is broken, it will slow down and then eventually will stop recording water use. It is impossible for a meter to speed up and record “too much” water use.
