Water meters are issued to properties looking to provide new or additional water, sanitary sewer and/or reclaimed water connections in Loudoun Water’s service area. The meter provides each property access to Loudoun Water’s public system. Prior to receiving a meter, connection fees must be paid, all required inspections passed and administrative paperwork completed. Water meter installations will be scheduled for installation 24 to 72 hours after the meter request form has been submitted. For meters 1” and smaller, meters are installed by our Field Service Department. For meters 1.5” or larger, our Field Services Department will deliver the meter for installation.
