Reasons for Installing Water Meters Outdoors
The main reasons for installing water meters in corridors are as follows:
1. Convenient Meter Reading and Maintenance
Installing water meters in corridors allows meter readers to quickly record data, avoiding delays caused by users not being home. Maintenance personnel can also more easily inspect, repair, or replace water meters, minimizing disruption to users' lives.
2. Clear Property Rights and Management
The water meter and the pipes leading to it are maintained by the water company. Installing water meters in corridors clarifies property rights and avoids disputes caused by unclear responsibilities.
3. Reduced Water Leakage Risk
Installing water meters in corridors shortens the length of pipes leading to the meter, reducing the likelihood of leaks and helping to reduce water waste and user-shared leakage costs.
4. Compliance with Regulations and Design Requirements
Corridors facilitate pipe layout, meeting regulatory requirements for a certain length of straight pipe before and after the water meter, ensuring accurate metering. Furthermore, corridors are relatively centralized, facilitating centralized management and maintenance.
5. Adapting to Environmental and Safety Needs
In cold regions, corridors are more easily insulated than indoor spaces, reducing the risk of water meters freezing and cracking. Furthermore, corridor insulation facilitates timely detection of leaks and ensures water safety.
