Meter Size
Normal Flow
Meter sizes are determined by number of units. If the meter is too large, we lose low flows. If too small, the meter will wear prematurely. Also of greater concern, is water quality. If the service and
TOWN OF PENETANGUISHENE - WATER DIVISION
SCHEDULE A-B 2026 WATER METER SIZING AND COST
meter are too large, water quality is compromised. The following is merely a guideline to determine required meter size for new or existing buildings. This calculation is based on maximum
consumption of 10usgpm per unit.
