How do I read my meter?

You do not need to read your meter as in the past. New meters have been installed and are read monthly by radio-read. You will receive a bill in the mail.

If you would like to read your meter you read the numbers left to right. You will pay only on hundreds meaning last two digits are zero.

How do I determine whether I have a leak?

Your water meter can help you determine whether you have inconspicuous leaks. First turn off all faucets and water-consuming appliances. Then go to your water meter and follow the instructions below. Photo A below shows a water meter. Photo B shows the lid opened and the current water meter reading (blue arrow). By holding your finger over the eye (red arrow) on the meter for one second the meter reading screen will change to the Leak Detection Screen as shown in Photo C.  If the screen shows 0.00 there is no leak.  If a number shows for example: 0.05 that means there is a leak of five one hundredths of a gallon per minute.

Even if your meter did not show any signs of leaks in your home, it’s still a good idea to periodically check for leaks.
