YOUR WATER SERVICE

Your water meter
This is a standard 5/8" water meter, which reads in gallons. The reading is taken from left to right. The reading on this meter is 116960, which is the equvalent of 116,960 gallons.

The small diamond shaped object on the meter is a low flow indicator. This can help in determining if there are water leaks in your home.

Typical meter pads
Your meter pad is designed to be read electronically from the outside of your house. Under normal circumstances the meter reader does not need to enter your home to obtain a meter reading.


Radio Read Transmitter
For some services where it is difficult to have access to a meter pad, a radio transmitter may be installed to allow a remote meter reading from the street. Additionally, all new water services are being equipped with this feature.

Typical Meter Installation
This is what a typical meter setup would look like in your home. It is generally in the basement where the water line enters the home. The meter pad is usually outside the building in this area.
