How to Read Your Water Meter
You can take regular readings of your water meter to check how much water you are using. It is best to wear gloves anytime you check the water meter. Usually, the water meter is enclosed in a concrete box located near the street, between the curb and sidewalk. Remove the concrete cover carefully to avoid injury and damage to the lid, and then set it aside. Be careful to watch for insects, especially spiders. Write down the number showing on the meter, and then replace the meter box cover.
Water usage is billed by how many units are used during the billing cycle.
