Calculating Your Bill

The two black digits are not recorded to determine your monthly charges. They will appear on your bill as zeros. (00) i.e. 1100 cubic feet instead of 1153

The triangle is referred to as your leak indicator. If all water is turned off in the property, The dial should not be turning. If the dial is turning, there may be a leak on the property.

Determining your monthly water usage

EXAMPLE:

Record the reading from your meter from left to right. (omitting the two black digits)

Record the previous months reading

Current: 129,900

Previous: 119,900

Subtract the current from the previous: 129,900-119,900=10,000 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons
