Meter reading tips
For help on how to read a meter, please see the below on how to read:
- a water meter (this is the same as either gas or electricity single-dial non-digital meters)
Here are some tips that you can keep in mind when dealing with meter readings:
- the current reading should always be higher than (or equal to) the last reading unless the meter has rolled over.
- the first digits should be the same or in close proximity, e.g. 68402 (last week) and 68700 (this week).
- the same number of digits each week should be recorded unless the meter has rolled up a digit.
- always check that the readings correspond to the correct meter.
