What constitutes a “unit” of water?
A unit, as it applies to the water rate is 100 cubic feet of water. 100 cubic feed of water is equivalent to 748 gallons. Therefore 1 unit equals 748 gallons; 2 units equals 1,496 gallons, etc. Much like gas and electric meters, water meters read left to right. The water meters used by the Agency are calibrated to measure volume in cubic feet (12 in. X 12 in. X 12 in.). The dials of the meter read in an industry standard of on ccf equating to 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons (one cubic feet is equal to 7.48 gallons).
