Reading your meter

Most of the Water District's residential meters are located near the front yard or in the front sidewalk. The meter lid will be marked "water" or "LVVWD."

How to read your meter:

1. Once you've found your meter box, remove the lid using a screwdriver or another tool. (Some meter box lids have removable inserts to make getting to your meter easier.)
    
2. Lift the meter cap to uncover the lens. Face the meter so that the "0" on the outer dial is at top (Photo 1).
    
3. Locate the odometer (or number bar) on the meter's face (Photo 2). Write down the numbers, reading from left to right, ignoring the numbers with a black background. If your meter has a rubber flap over the face, lift the flap to read the meter (Photo 3).
    
4. Subtract your current reading from your last reading (your official readings are located on your bill) to learn how many thousands of gallons you have used since your last bill.
    
5. When you're done, close the meter cap to prevent damage to the lens.
    
6. Carefully replace the meter box lid to avoid damaging the meter or lid.
