How to read your water meter
 |
Meter face |
 |
Meter odometer |
About 90 percent of all area residential water meters
are located in the front sidewalk of your home with the meter lid marked
either "water" or the name of your water purveyor.
- Locate the meter in the sidewalk at the front
of your home.
- Remove the meter box lid using a screwdriver
or appropriate tool (Some meter box lids have removable inserts to make
reading easier).
- Lift the meter cap over the lens and position
yourself to read the meter. Face the meter so that the "0"
on the outer dial is at the top.
- Locate the number bar, or odometer, of the meter
face. Write down the number reading from left to right. Note the number
on the far right does not move.
- After obtaining your reading, close the meter
cap to prevent damage to the lens.
- Carefully replace the meter box lid to avoid
damaging the meter or lid.
