How do I read my water meter?
Water meters are generally located in basements near the main water entry or in the garage. The meter has a lid that must be opened to take the reading of the numbers, which are arrayed like those on a car odometer.
Some water meters are calibrated in gallons gallons of water consumed, while homes built since the year 2000 have meters which measure cubic meters (m3). To assist you in recording the correct meter reading, three different types of water meters are illustrated below, along with the corresponding correct recording of the reading on the reply slip:
Rockwell meter, in gallons
These meters record full gallons only, NO DECIMAL POINTS. They have a permanent 0 printed on the meter. This 0 must also be recorded on your reply slip.
Reading :
Neptune meter, in gallons
These meters record full gallons only, NO DECIMAL POINTS. They have a permanent 0 printed on the meter. This 0 must also be recorded on your reply slip.
Reading :
Lecomte meter, in cubic metres
These meters record cubic metres using decimals, which are generally in the black squares on the meter. On the form, you must record the figures in the white squares before the decimal point and fill in the black squares with the figures after the decimal point.
