HOW TO READ YOUR METER AND CALCULATE YOUR WATER USE...
HOW TO READ YOUR METER AND CALCULATE YOUR WATER USE COMPARED TO YOUR ALLOCATION.
STEP 1. READ YOUR METER TWICE,
RECORD THE DATES AND READINGS
STEP 2. CALCULATE WATER USE
IN HUNDRED CUBIC FEET (HCF)
Reading #1: Date and meter odometer reading.
Reading #2:
Date:
Reading #1:
–HCF
=
Odometer Reading:
Reading #2: Date and meter odometer reading.
Date:
(B)
HCF
HCF water used
Odometer Reading:
(A) Number of Days Between Readings:
STEP 3. WATER USE PER MONTH AT CURRENT RATE OF USE
x
÷
= (C) HCF per month*
Water use in HCF x Number of days in the month ÷ Days between readings
= Use per month*
(B)
(A) *at current rate of use
STEP 4. WATER USE PER MONTH AT CURRENT RATE OF USE COMPARED TO ALLOCATION
– Allocation for the month.
–
Water use in
(From your allocation letter
HCF per month
or water bill.) (C)
=
=
HCF per month over or under allocation
Estimated amount
Under allocation (if a positive #)
Over allocation (if a negative #)
READ YOUR WATER METER AS NEEDED, CHECK FOR LEAKS,
AND STAY UNDER YOUR MANDATORY RATIONING ALLOCATION EVERY MONTH.
If you cannot locate your meter, are disabled, or you would like District Staff to show
you where it is located and how to read it, please contact us at: (805) 969-2271.

REPEAT READINGS AND CALCULATIONS AS OFTEN AS NEEDED. START AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH MONTH.
STEP 1. READ YOUR METER TWICE AGAIN,
RECORD THE DATE AND READING
STEP 2. CALCULATE WATER USE
IN HUNDRED CUBIC FEET (HCF)
Reading #3: Date and meter odometer reading.
Reading #3:
Date:
Reading **#1: –HCF
Odometer Reading:
(B) =
**The first reading of the month.
(A) N
umber of days between
reading #1** and #3:
HCF
HCF water used
STEP 3. WATER USE PER MONTH AT CURRENT RATE OF USE
x
÷
= (C) HCF per month*
Water use in HCF x Number of days in the month ÷ Days between readings
= Use per month*
(B)
(A) *at current rate of use
STEP 4. WATER USE PER MONTH AT CURRENT RATE OF USE COMPARED TO ALLOCATION
–
Allocation for the month.
–
Water use in
(From your allocation letter
HCF per month
or water bill.) (C)
=
=
HCF per month over or under allocation
Estimated amount
Under allocation (if a positive #)
Over allocation (if a negative #)
