How Can I Check
My Water Usage? |
|
|
|
Check
your meter to determine your average daily use. Record your meter
reading at the beginning of a measurement period and again at the end of
the period. The difference between these two meter readings will be the
water used. |
|
Your
water meter reads in cubic feet and can be easily converted to gallons
by multiplying the reading by 7.5. |
