How to read your water meter

You can read your meter to keep track of how much water you're using. It's easy to do and can also help you check for leaks.

Read your meter

The black digits show how many kilolitres (1000 litres) you've used.

The white digits record hundreds of litres, tens of litres and litres respectively.

Calculate your water usage

To work out how much water you use in a day:

1. Read your meter and record your water usage.
2. Read your meter a second time 24 hours later.
3. Subtract the second reading from the first.

You can continue to check your daily usage to monitor and compare your water usage over time.
