All meters measure the amount of water used in cubic feet.
One cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons. Your water meter has a set of numbers similar to the odometer in your car, and the numbers spin as you use water. Simply read the numbers to know how many cubic feet of water you've used. In the illustrated example, the meter indicates that 7,896 cubic feet of water have been used. This number represents a starting point.
