Water meter thieves

Mark Bryson - Friday, February 26, 2016

Last year we had some issues on our projects with water meter thieving.
Would you believe somebody would steel a water meter? There is about 3 dollars of brass in them and what an inconvenience it causes to everyone.

We were building in one particular estate and they stole every meter in the Street costing every builder a small fortune.
The trades are also disadvantaged with not having any water costing them time and money.
I saw an interesting way they sort this issue on an estate in NSW see attached photo.
If anyone sees anything suspicious please contact the police and see if together we can put a stop to this pathetic behaviour.
