An adjustable stand to be detachably connected to and provide vertical support for a conventional water meter of the kind that is coupled to a fire hydrant to measure the volume of water consumed by a user by way of the fire hydrant. The water meter stand includes a foot that lays upon the ground and a meter support plate that is attached to the fire hydrant water meter. A turnbuckle assembly is located between the foot and the meter support plate. A housing of the turnbuckle assembly is rotated to cause upper and lower threaded rods to correspondingly move through the housing. Accordingly, the length of the stand between the foot and the meter support plate can be selectively adjusted regardless of the dimensions of the fire hydrant and the elevation of the water meter coupled thereto and suspended above the ground. |
