Reading Your Water Meter

How to Read Your Meter


Calculate Your Usage
 
To find out how much water you have used since your last bill, subtract the reading on your last bill from the current meter reading:

Current reading014060 gallons
Reading on last bill- 013530 gallons
Usage = 00530 gallons

Potential Leaks
The above video explains how to use your meter to determine if you have a suspected leak.  Leaks can waste a lot of water and cost you money, so be sure to check your hose connections, faucets, and toilets.  Additional videos on our Water Conservation page demonstrate how to find and repair leaks.
