Reading My Meter
Reading your gas or electric meter is as easy as reading a clock.
The dials, which look like little clocks, alternately run clockwise
and counterclockwise. Reading from left to right, just write down
the last number the needle has passed. The difference between the
new reading and the last one is your monthly energy consumption.
The reading in the example below is 94838:

Estimated Readings
Although we make every effort to read as many meters as possible each
month, our current process requires bi-monthly meter readings. When we
estimate your bill, we base the readings on past usage and recent weather
conditions. Any differences automatically will be made up for at your next
actual meter reading.
Submitting Meter Readings
Some customers prefer to phone in readings or send in meter reading cards
on the months that we do not take an actual reading. Your next scheduled
reading date is noted on your monthly bill. To ensure that your reading is
used for billing, we encourage customers to call or email the reading on the
scheduled reading date. You can contact us
for meter reading cards.
