How does the Livingston Community Water Authority determine my water usage?
A residential water meter is read once each quarter (whether on an individual meter or a master meter system). This reading is obtained from outside the home by one of two methods: a touchpad read or through a radio read unit. The touchpad and radio read devices are able to electronically transmit a meter reading outside the building identical to that of the inside water meter. For residents on a master well, a beginning and end read for any service flushing or fire department use is documented and subtracted from the total quarterly read.
