Reading your Water Meter
Simply read and record the figures shown with the white background (123). Subtract your previous reading from this reading to determine your usage in HCF. To convert your usage to gallons, multiply the number of units used by 748. For example, if your current read is 055 and your previous read was 052, then you would have used 3 HCF or 2,244 gallons of water. (example: 055 - 052 = 3 HCF; 3 HCF x 748 = 2,244 gallons).
To check for leaks, observe the large sweep hand or triangle dial for at least 15 minutes with all water turned off. If there is any movement, there could be a leak. Newer digital meters use a flashing plus sign instead of a triangle.
