Meter Specifications
By City Ordinance, Southlake has established a set of requirements for allowable meter types and sizes in new developments. The City of Southlake inventories, and installs all 1-inch Simple, 2-inch Compound, and 2-inch Turbo meters.
4-inch or larger meters need to be supplied by the property owner, and drop shipped to:
