Your water meter measures the amount of water that you use, and it is read by a trained meter-reader at Hallsdale-Powell. Residential customers can find their water meter located at the front of the property near the street, under ground.
To measure your water use, record the seven-digit number on the meter’s face at the start of the period you want to measure. Then, record the reading at the end. Subtract the first reading from the second, and the result equals the number of gallons you used.
For example:
141,190 2nd number recorded
-140,160 1st number recorded
1,030 Gallons of water used
Reading your meter on a regular basis will allow you to monitor water use.
To check for a leak, turn off all fixtures and faucets in the household. Then check the flow indicator. The flow indicator should not be spinning. If it continues to spin while the water is off, you may have a leak.
For billing purposes, HPUD bills in hundreds of gallons. To obtain this reading, the meter is read from left to right and the last two digits on the right are not recorded.
