How to Read My Meter

Face the meter and read the dials from left to right. Only the top four numbers appear on your bill. Read the numbers as indicated by the hands on the dials. If a hand is between two numbers, read the smaller; except when the hand is between 0 and 9 as in dial “2” in which case you would read the number 9.

In the illustration, dial “1” reads 7, dial “2” reads 9, dial “3” reads 8 and dial “4” reads 3. The correct reading for this meter is 7983.
