The water meter is inside my basement. The water meter was setup by a
plumber that previous owner hired when I was buying a house. I also

that it was me who caused the leak when touching water pipes as it
didn't
leak before. in general if it's not a big deal to fix the leak myself
I
would rather do it.


Most water meters use a compression nut and rubber type ferrule seal.
Try to tighten the nut slightly by holding the meter so it doesn't
rotate. Most nuts will be security wired, don't break the wire. If that
doesn't work, call the water company.
