HOW TO READ YOUR METER

You can monitor your water usage by reading your meter, which is usually located near the curb in front of your home under a concrete lid. To read your meter like the one illustrated below, simply read the first four (4) numbers from left to right. The last two numbers colored white disregard. For this sample the meter read would be 261, ignoring the other two numbers (47). Now subtract your last read from our bill or your records to determine your water usage in units/cubic feet of water. To convert the usage in gallons, multiply the number of units/cubic feet used by 748. If you need help call our office (323) 560-2439, we are here to help.

The faster it moves the more water is going though the meter. To help locate leaks try the following suggestions:
