What becoming a green business means: 

Green your business and save your money!

• Green Businesses implement practices that lead to cost savings in energy, water, and garbage bills.

Be recognized as a leader!

• Green Businesses are promoted in the press, advertising, and displaying the window decal and program seal on marketing materials.

Improve employee wellness and productivity!

• By using less toxic products, staff members benefit. And who doesn't want to work for a cutting edge environmentally-conscious firm?

Green your business for growth!

• For many Green Businesses, greening their operations fits perfectly into their business model.

Stand out from your competitors!

• Customers increasingly want to patronize businesses that are doing their part for the environment.

The meter register pictured on the left is typical of most residential meters and is usually located near the street. The register on the meter serving your property may look somewhat different, but they all work on the same principles. 

The meter register reads like a car odometer, from left to right. The numbers keep a running total of all the water that passed through the meter since it was installed.

The red triangle is the flow indicator. It rotates whenever water passes through the meter. The flow indicator will turn faster or slower depending on the volume of water passing through the meter, meaning that you may need to observe the flow indicator if trying to determine a slow leak. 

The large sweep hand measures gallons of water as it passes through the meter. A complete revolution indicates that ten gallons have passed through the meter. However, depending on the size meter installed at your property, one wide circle may equate to more gallons.

To calculate the amount of water used within a specific time, you would subtract the meter reading taken at the beginning of that period from the meter reading taken at the end. This will give you the total amount of gallons used.
