Yes, all meters are read every month. When our meter readers used to read with books and pencils, they were able to do "bar stool" readings (not all did!). That was sitting in a restaurant somewhere and making up readings for customers based on their past usage. With their new hand held computer units it is impossible for them to guess at what the meter reading is.

Your local utility will continue to read your meter and is responsible for sending your usage information to your new supplier.

For units that have been purchased after 2000, when you open the cap (not the battery end) there will be 4 switches on the opposite side of the circuit board from where the cap snaps in. The 2nd switch from the right (or the 3rd switch from the left) is the unit of measure switch. For Meters, push the switch back (away from you), and for Feet, pull the switch forward (towards you).

Every single 800 Series Sierra Flow meter is calibrated on a Primary Standard. Sierra does NOT use transfer standards. We can not stress how beneficial this is to YOU as the end user! The reason nobody else calibrates EVERY meter on a Primary Standards because the cost to calibrate Flow Meters with Primary Standards is IMMENSE however it is TRULY the ONLY way any company manufacturing Mass Flow Meters with accuracies of 1% or better could justifiably make such claims of accuracy.

Generally, the water meter nearest to your property is your water meter. To verify this, turn on a spigot inside your house or at the outside hose bib. While the water is running, go out to the water meters and observe which one is registering (i.e., the meter register is changing numbers or the leak detector is spinning).

Yes. Meters are factory tested and calibrated to be within accepted standards of accuracy. Moreover, the utility must maintain its meters within those accuracy standards specified in the Utility Tariffs.

Unfortunately color meters available to cinematographers are far from being scientifically accurate when reading fluorescents. They act as a great comparative tool to determine differences between two given light sources but are inadequate in providing definitive data. You will rarely find two color meters, even if they are the same make and model, that provide equal data. Results between meters may be similar but not identical.

Our water is very safe. It is automatically tested and monitored every four seconds. State-of-the-art lab equipment allows staff to measure quantities reported in parts per million or parts per billion.
