The District uses AMI water metering technology that allows the direct transmission of water use data between the meter and the District. AMI makes it possible for meters to be read in real time, providing a higher level of accuracy.
How to read your meter:
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 plastic box. Remove the lid by using a tool such as a large screwdriver. Insert the tool into one of the holes and pry the lid off.
STEP 2 On the face of the meter, there is a display of numbers. Read the number display from left to right. This is your meter reading. Meters measure water in gallons. Charges for the amount of water consumed are measured by the thousands used during a billing period. Compare that reading to what your bill states as your current or present reading.
STEP 3 Keep in mind that you might be checking your meter on a date different from the one used for billing. 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.
