STEP 1 Locate your meter box, generally found betweem the house and the road towards the front of a property, near the street. The box is typically in a direct line with the main outside faucet. It a round lid usually marked "water". Remove the lid by using a tool such as a large screwdriver. Insert the tool into one of the holes or at the edge and pry the lid off.
STEP 2 Once you open the meter box lid, lift the protective cap on the meter. On the face of the meter, there is a large dial and a display of numbers. For the residential meter, each rotation of the dial measures 10 gallons. Read the number display from left to right. Be sure to include the stationary zero on the right. This is your meter reading. Meters measure water in gallons. Charges for the amount of water consumed are rounded to the nearest hundred gallons used during a billing period.
