How Can I Measure My City Water Flow Rate Accurately?

To accurately determine Your city water flow rate you will need an unrestricted hose spigot, a 5 gallon bucket, and a watch that indicates seconds:

  • Remove any attached hose, and then turn Your hose spigot on full
  • Place Your 5 gallon bucket on level ground under the flowing water and start timing
  • Finish timing at the moment the bucket fills with water
  • Turn off Your spigot and write down the number of seconds it took to fill Your bucket
  • Repeat 3 times at different times of day and night and use Your longest fill time (Your lowest water flow rate) to click the most appropriate button in the yellow box above.
