Read your meter lately?

If you want to do your part to help conserve our natural resources and, you want to save money. Monitor your water use by reading your meter and help preserve the environment while you save money.

Here's how to read your water meter:

Rockwood's water meter installation policy is to set the meter at the customers property line adjacent to the road easment.

There are two common types of water meters:

For circular-reading meters, start with the lowest dial, in this case marked 10, and continue reading up to the highest dial.

If a dial pointer isn't centered exactly on a number or is located between two numbers, read the lower number. This dial reads 987498. For example, if the above meter measured in gallons, one complete (360 degrees) revolution of the pointer on the "10" dial would indicate 10 gallons of water used.  If the pointer on the 10 dial moved from "8" to "9", only one gallon was used.

Meters record in either gallons, or cubic feet. All of Rockwood's meters record in cubic feet.
