WASCO utilizes two (2) types of water meters. The type of meter is determined by its unit of measurement.

•  Imperial Gallons Meter: Imperial gallons should state that it is used for domestic customers.  Based on conversation with Metering Senior Supervisor and Senior Water Services Technician, cubic meters are not used and if there may be some out there they are not used on customer’s lines.  Bulk meters are the other meter type which is used for industrial, hotels, manufacturing, malls, and sale of water to vessels.
•  Cubic Meter: The cubic meter measures water consumption in liters and has "m3" on the face of the meter.

Reading Your Domestic Meter

Record all digits on the left side of the meter. These digits are usually either in "black" or "white". Subtract the previous meter reading from the current reading to obtain your consumption for the current period.

•  Meter number – usually an 8 digit number engraved at the top of the meter.
•  Inside the glass digits represent gallons used from installation. All numbers should be read including the last three red digits found inside the glass.
