The Mueller Encoder Eight register (ME-8) is available for use on current Mueller Systems positive displacement meters in 5/8” through 2” sizes. The Mueller Encoder Eight register provides granular data for use in the latest AMR and AMI applications while the eight wheel visual display provides visual verification that aids in the detection of leaks and backflow.
STEP 1 Locate your meter box, generally found towards the front of a property, near the street. The box is typically in a direct line with the main outside faucet. Remove the lid by using a tool such as a large screwdriver. Insert the tool into one of the holes and pry the lid off.
STEP 2 Once you open the meter box lid, lift the protective cap on the meter. On the face of the meter, there is a large dial and a display of numbers. Read the numbers displayed to the left of the decimal. This is your meter reading. Meters measure water in gallons. Compare that reading to what your bill states as your current or present reading.
STEP 3 Keep in mind that you might be checking your meter on a date different from the one used for billing. This could result in a difference in the amount you find, compared with the amount on which your bill is based. However, if your reading is considerably higher than what is on your bill, check for a leak or try to determine the source of large water use. If your reading is significantly lower than the reading on your bill, please contact us and let us assist you in determining the problem.
