This privately owned water meter was leaking to the extent of filling up the inspection chamber. After draining and disassembling I could see that the leak was caused by corroded brass unions.

A corroded tap connector to the hot water feed tank caused a leak in this attic. I replaced this whole section with copper.

To install a new tap in the greenhouse I exposed an existing water pipe and spurred off some blue MDPE pipe. I ran this through ducting under the foundations and added a temporary valve. I set a rounded off post in the ground to mount the brass tap and used Munsen rings with a copper pipe to give the attractive look the client desired.
