Meter reading worksheet
Circle the type of meter you are reading.
Read your meter at regular intervals, such as every day. Try to read it at the same time each day. Record
your readings below.
Subtract the previous day reading from the current reading. This calculation will show you how much
water or electricity was used between meter readings.
Use the comment section to record any activities that might affect water or electric use.
If you have a cubic foot meter you can use the comment section to multiply daily readings by 7.5 gallons
to convert a cubic foot meter reading to gallons.
