Meter Reading

STEP 1   Locate your meter box, generally found towards the front of a property, near the street. The box is typically in a direct line with the main outside faucet. It is housed in a concrete box usually marked "water". Remove the lid by using a tool such as a large screwdriver. Insert the tool into one of the holes to open the lid.

STEP 2   Once you open the meter box lid, lift the protective cap on the meter. On the face of the meter is now digital and might require a flashlight to see the information. If you see a dripping faucet it mightindicate a leak of some sort. It will take a few minutes to see all readings.

STEP 3   Keep in mind that you might be checking your meter on a date different from the one used for billing. (We are currently reading on the 15 th, unless it is a Holiday or weekend.) This could result in a difference in the amount you find, compared with the amount on which your bill is based. However, if your reading is considerably higher than what is on your 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.
