How to Read Your Meter
If you get a meter read card in your mailbox, you should read your meter and submit it to us.
The image below is an example of a meter. The SP number represents your meter number.
- Record the exact position of each dial on the card. If the dial is between two numbers, use the lower number. For example, the meter above reads 79314.
- Submit your meter reading using the information you recorded on the card.
