Meter Reading

STEP 1 Locate your meter, generally found in the basement. The meter is typically in a direct line with the main outside faucet. 

STEP 2 Once you located the meter, on the face of the meter, there is a large dial and a display of numbers. For the residential meter, each rotation of the dial measures 10 gallons. Read the number display from left to right. Be sure to include all the stationary zeros. This is your meter reading. Meters measure water in gallons. Charges for the amount of water consumed are rounded to the nearest thousand gallons used during a billing period. Compare that reading to what your bill states as your current or present reading.

STEP 3 If your reading is considerably higher than what is on your last bill, check for a leak or try to determine the source of large water use. If your reading is significantly lower than the reading on your bill, please contact us and let us assist you in determining the problem.
