Help Stopping a Leak

[brooks693]

Hi there

I have a leak under my kitchen sink, and I'm looking to fix it before I redo my kitchen. I have attached an image and have circled in red where the leak is coming from.

I'm a little confused how it's all working, water is coming in from the bottom, then I assume it goes right around to the meter and circles back and up to the sink. Is the bit to the left of the leak a stop cock with the tap removed?

Is there a simpler way of plumbing this?

Cheers

That's an old stop cock which has had a water meter fitted to it. Is the meter still working.I'd take it all off
and start from fresh.Bob

Thanks Bob

The meter still works fine, it's just leaking at the join highlighted. Could I just remove the hole stop cock part and have it come in through the meter bottom and straight out the top?

Get your water supplier out
It's their problem.
