3 minutes and 14 seconds long that video is.

I made it 30 seconds into it, did anyone do better?

Does something amazing happen for the last minute or is the whole video exactly as interesting as actually reading your water meter?

Ugh

So that’s what that thing is I reversed over with my car. Bits broken off everywhere and pipes bent. Glad it didn’t start leaking.

Are we talking about a meter reader or a meter here?

What meter? Or is it Watt meter? Oh, wat-er meter, like “What a meter, mate!” No Actew staff were injured in the making of this sentence LOL. Good one though.

Who’s this Matt Friend from the Community Engagement and Education section?

Thought they would have Reginald Bastard from Accounts and Billing to do it.

Remarkable how many people ring us with a meter query and do not know where it is or how to read it. An undetected leaking tap, cistern or irrigation pipe can chew up thousands of dollars of water between meter readings. The top level of assistance for undetected leaks is $2500 so you can imagine the shock. So look at the meter while you think all the water is off and see if it is flowing. It is a simple and effective assurance test and helps Actew Water help you. Check the meter now and again particularly if you have a hunch something may be wrong. It is not an adventure flick but can save your movie costs for a year.
