The Problem
A homeowner in Kilmore called us in a bit of a panic. They’d been using a whipper snipper in the front yard when it accidentally clipped the water meter. Water was spraying everywhere, and they couldn’t shut it off at the main valve. With water usage increasing and the risk of further damage, they needed help fast.
Diagnosis and Action
We prioritised this as an emergency callout and arrived within 90 minutes of the call. On arrival, we assessed the damage and confirmed the water meter had been hit by the whipper snipper, causing a section of pipe to burst before the meter. We quickly isolated the water supply to prevent further leakage and began repairs immediately.
Within 30 minutes of starting, we had stopped the leak and restored the water meter to safe operation. We also arranged for Goulburn Valley Water to attend within 48 hours to repair the section of pipe that had burst before the meter. Coordinating with the local water authority ensured everything was handled correctly and safely for the homeowner.
The Result
Within 1.5 hours of the initial call, the water meter was repaired and functioning properly. There was no mess left behind, and the homeowner was educated on what had happened, how we fixed it, and what to expect from the water authority’s follow-up visit.
