03.06.2009 - Read Your Own Water Meter Reading your own water meter is an easy way to keep tabs on the amount of water you use. Your water meter measures the amount of water used in gallons. Your meter is configured like the odometer on your car and is simple to read. To read your water meter, read the dial beginning with the left. Simply take the meter reading and subtract the previous meter reading from the current meter reading to determine the amount of gallons used. The water meter can be used to check for invisible or unnoticed leaks. Turn off all water outlets and water-using appliances. Read the dial on the water meter and record the reading. After 15 to 20 minutes, recheck the meter. If no water has been turned on or used and the reading has changed, a leak is occuring somewhere in the plumbing system. The services of a plumber or trained water utility employee are often required to locate and fix these invisible leaks. The water meter is often located in the front of your property. Back to news...
