Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my water meter located and how do I read it?
Most water meters are located at the front of your property at either the property line near the sidewalk or street. The District uses a "speedometer" type meter that works like the odometer in your car... except that it records cubic feet of water instead of miles traveled.
The series of numbers in the odometer reflect your water consumption in units of 100 cubic feet (=748 gallons of water). Read the numbers left to right, but don't include the last two numbers on the far right. For example, if last month's reading of 004500 units is subtracted from this month's reading of 006500, then 2000 cubic feet for water usage that has been logged. This in turn equates to 20 units of billable usage. This is what would be reflected on your bill.
