How to Read My Meter

Reading your natural gas meter is as easy as reading a clock. The dials, which look like little clocks, alternately run clockwise and counterclockwise. Reading from left to right, just write down the last number the needle has passed. The difference between the new reading and the last one is your monthly energy consumption. If you'd like, you can even call in your own reading.

The reading in the example below is 94838:

There are times when we may be unable to read your meter. Doors or gates may be locked ... shrubs overgrown ... snow too deep. At these times, we may need to estimate your bill, based on past usage and recent weather conditions.
