Cocoa’sTYPES OF METERS, READING METERS & 5 Community NewsletterLEAK DETECTION HOW TO LOCATE AND READ YOUR METER AND CHECK FOR LEAKS AROUND YOUR HOMEMANUAL AND RADIO READ METERSWHERE IS MY METER LOCATED?Most of the City of Cocoa water utility meter boxes are typically located in the front of your yard, closest to theroad and are read on a monthly basis by Customer Service Utility Meter Readers.HFOoWr mISaInT uREaAl mD?eters, the Meter Reader removes the lid, raises the meter cap and clears away any debris that mayhave settled on the face of the meter. The first four numbers on the dial indicate your usage in thousands ofgallons and are used for your monthly billing. This number is keyed into a device. The Meter Reader does nothave access at this time to your previous month’s read and reads are not estimated, unless in the rare case themeter is covered and/or unable to be viewed. If for any reason your meter is unable to be read, our CustomerService Division will initiate a work order to have it repaired. It is very common for dirt and debris to quickly fill inover the meter even after it has been read by the Meter Reader. For radio read meters, the Meter Reader passesby the meter and the device detects the monthly read. For these meters, the Reader does not need tophysically open a box to find the monthly read.WAYS TO CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE ON YOUR WATER BILL: INSTALL REDUCED- USE ENERGY STAR KEEP AN EYE OUT LET RAIN WATER FLOW SHOWERHEADS APPLIANCES FOR FAUCET DRIPS YOUR LAWNBILLINGHOW IS YOUR CONSUMPTION BILLED ON A MONTHLY BASIS?Statements are issued on an approximate monthly interval and no more than twelve (12) bills in a calendar year forone customer at one location. The length of a billing cycle shall often vary month to month depending oncircumstances that influence the ability to read the meter on the same day each month. The service period datesare determined by the date your meter was read the previous month to the date your meter is read the currentmonth. The monthly water base fee is assessed by meter size and is also known as a readiness to serve chargedesigned to collect revenues to cover some operating and maintenance expenses. This fee is billed to all activeaccounts and does not include the consumption charges. The water consumption charges are based uponmetered water consumption. Your previous meter reading is subtracted from your current meter reading todetermine your actual water consumption within the billing cycle. These charges are billed to the consumer byrounding down to the thousands place within the meter reading and are billed on a per thousand gallon basis.Wastewater charges are billed equal to metered water use and may include a cap. The current rates, fees, andcharges schedule is located on our website.CHECKING FOR LEAKSHOW CAN I CHECK FOR LEAKS IN MY HOME?To check for leaks, first open your meter box and find the leak flag indicator on the meter. For the manual readmeter (as shown to the right) it is the red triangle. For digital meters it is the flow rate. Turn off all of the waterinside and outside of your home. Go out to the meter box and check to see if the leak indicator is moving (on themanual read meter) or flashing (on the digital read meter). With all of the water turned off, nothing should bemoving on your meter. If the indicator is moving or flashing and all water is turned off in the home, this canindicate a leak. Turn off the house valve and check the leak indicator again. If it stops moving, this will indicate aleak inside your home. If the flag continues, this will indicate a leak from the from the meter to the home.OTHER INDICATORS OF A LEAK CAN INCLUDE: RUNNING TOILETS TALLER/GREENER DRIPS FROM A WET SPOTS ON PATCHES OF GRASS FAUCET THE GROUNDCONNECT WITH US (321) 433-8400 www.CocoaFL.org
