How to Read Your Meter
Your water meter is read like a car odometer, from left to right. The sweep hand is like a clock's second hand; one complete revolution equals one cubic foot. Your water is most likely measured in cubic feet, and billed per 100 cubic feet. However, in the Lime Saddle and Magalia Districts, water is measured in gallons.
A Simple Test for Leaks
A leaky faucet is pretty obvious. But hidden leaks (in the toilet or outside in your landscaping) can waste a large amount of water. To check for leaks, perform the following procedure ... 1)Take a reading of your water meter. 2) Wait one hour, making sure no one uses any water. 3) Check the reading on the water meter again. If the reading has changed, you've got at least one leak. In that case...
4) Call our customer service hotline: 1-877-Del-Oro-H2O to request a meter test or leak investigation.
