How To Read Your
City of Lubbock Utilities Water Meter
As you try different
efficiency and conservation methods wouldn't it be good to know your meter
reading more frequently than once a month when your bill
arrives? In this video, LP&L will show you how to read
your meter to determine if your efforts are paying off and
give you the ability to check your usage before you have to
take time to call or visit LP&L. Please never touch an
electric meter and never stick your hand in a water meter
box for your safety.

After you view the video and know more about reading your meter, try and
read your meter the day you get your bill. Your meter was read by
LP&L within the past couple of days, so your reading should be really
close to the reading on your bill. If your unsure where to look on
your bill, look for Service Totals on page two of your bill and then
look for Water Consumption. Remember your reading thousands of
gallons, so unless you have a leak, been using a water sprinkler system
a lot or filled up a swimming
pool your reading should be really close to the Water Consumption
reading on your bill.
Some water meters have separate small dial on the meter. If your
meter has this dial, it is called a leak detector and it can benefit
you, if you think you have a leak. To check, just turn off all the
water and then go back to the meter and see if the leak detector dial is
rotating. If it is, you may have a water leak, so do some
investigating.
