Water Meter Sizing

The tool is a guide only. Scottish Water reserves the right to make the final decision of which size of water meter will be fitted. This tool should be used to calculate the water meter size for the potable water supply only. This tool is not designed to calculate the pipe size of fire fighting supplies. Where an additional fire fighting water supply is needed, the supply will be unmeasured and the pipe size will be a minimum of 90mm.
