$How to read your water meter It couldn’t be easier to read your water meter. Just like your gas or electricity meter, the row of numbers turns as you use more. The black and white numbers show how many cubic metres of water youve used, and well calculate your bill using this meter reading. So you know, a cubic metre equals a thousand litres of water, which is enough for: 13 baths; or 14 washing machine loads; or 28 showers; or 33 dishwasher loads; or 111 toilet flushes. The red numbers or the numbers with dashes above them show fractions of one cubic metre, and if you’re ever checking for leaks on your water pipes, it’s a good idea to read the red digits at frequent intervals to see if they’re going up when you’re not using any water – this could indicate a leak. We’ll read your meter every six months to make sure you’re being billed the right amount – and if you have one of our new meters, we won’t even need to disturb you in your home to read it! You can add your meter reading on our website: www.unitedutilities.com/myaccount$
