- Dumb question, if there was a leak on the city side of the meter, could that cause a backflow - Timtheguru 2017-09-12 23:23:37 (261 views)
  - The meter wont run backwards either way, and it could only backflow if city pressure cut out. - pilot345 2017-09-19 12:05:57 (200 views)

      - Likely a gate valve, but it's not leaking when water is on. Like StarkNaked said there is a valve - Timtheguru 2017-09-13 13:44:05 (245 views)
