Water
meters record the amount of water used in the same manner as an odometer
records the number of miles driven in your automobile. When NFCMA reads your
meter, only the leftmost 4 digits are used in computing your bill. For example,
a meter displaying the digits 0123456.7 would be read as 123 and recorded in
NFCMA's billing software as 123 (thousand gallons) and would show on your water
bill as 0123. The difference between the current meter read and last month’s
meter read is your consumption for the given billing period.
Checking For Leaks
To test for a possible
leak in your system, make sure that all water systems are turned off, and then
check the small leak detector circle.
