A floating meter -- also known as a construction meter -- is similar to the standard water meter used at most residences and places of business to measure the water used. However, unlike a standard meter, a floating meter is not attached or fixed to a specific site -- it is portable (hence the term `floating`). A floating meter is typically connected to a fire hydrant or an existing water service that does not have a meter installed. A floating meter is typically used when water is needed for a temporary project (such as a construction job) but is not otherwise available.
