How can they read my meter when it's full of water?
If the water in the meter box is clear, it is possible to get an accurate reading. The reader notes on his reading forms any meters that he could not read because of water, and at the end of his route, he then returns to all the "water" meters and dips them out to get a reading. In cases of large meter boxes that cannot be dipped, a note of flooded is placed on the reading form. This causes a reread to be produced through the high-low, so that a service worker can be sent out to pump out the meter box and get a reading.
