Meters

Reading Your Water Meter There are 8 odometer wheels on a standard 3/4 inch residential meter head. The diagram below shows the values the wheels represent on the meter head, or register. On larger meters such as the commercial meter on the right, the wheels represent different untis of measure. The sewer and water bills that the District mails out, includes a "start" reading and "end" reading. Using Your Water Meter to Check for Leaks There is also a very sensitive red dial on the meter register as shown below. This dial turns with every 1/100th of a gallon that flows through the meter. A simplw way to check for leaks in the house is to shut all water faucets off and then watch the red dial. If it turns, then water is leaking somewhere in the house. The most come water leaks are found in toilets where the flapper valve isn't make a tight seal. Another common problem during the summer months are leaks in a outside irrigation system.
