WATER METER READINGS

Generally, water meters are read during the weeks containing the 15th day of March, June, September and December. Authorized meter readers will be able to provide proof of identification. Meter readings are obtained by inserting a meter reading device into a small black box located on the outside of your home or facility. External registers show usage in thousands of gallons and will not register 1,000 gallons until that amount has been consumed.

You may check your water consumption by reading the numbers under the glass dome of the water meter. The register will look like this: 

1

0

9

6

4

.5

This reading would be 10,964 ½ gallons. The outside reading would be 10,000 gallons.
