How to read your water meter

Residential 5/8-inch meter

1.   Leak indicator--if the needle moves that means water is moving through your meter to your property.  If no water is being used, you have a leak.
   

2.   Slow leak indicator--if this is spinning, that means water is going through the meter to your property.  If no water is being used, you have a leak.
   

3.   Gallons--billing consumption is measured in thousands of gallons (the digits with the white background).
