What a Pressure-Reducing Valve Does
Many homes have a pressure-reducing valve on the main water line, often near the meter or where the line enters the house. It lowers the pressure from the water supply to a steadier level for the fixtures, water heater, and appliances inside.
Like any valve, a pressure-reducing valve can wear out or develop a leak at its body or connections. See our guide on signs of high water pressure.
Finding the Source of a Leak Near the Meter
Water near the meter can come from several places, including a fitting, a section of the service line, or a valve. Finding which part is leaking comes before deciding what to repair or replace.
See our guide on reading your water meter to find a leak and our leak detection service.
