Short title - Definition. 1  Unlike the long title, which precedes the preamble and enacting formula, and thus sits outside the main body of text, the short title for modern legislation is explicitly defined by a specific section, typically at the very end or very beginning of the main text.
We have Pulse-Output Water Meters that have a pulse output that can be read remotely. For each unit of water that flows by the meter produces an electrical pulse that can be measured from a distance. The total water use can always be read on the face of the meter as well - as a standalone device.
An older water meter is harder to read in that it may have multiple dials. These dials each read in different increments of cubic feet, the largest registering 1,000,000 cubic feet. To understand your total water usage, you have add the totals in each dial. In the meter shown lower in this post all seven dials must be added in order to know how many cubic feet of water have been used historically, or for a certain period of time. Older water meters do not have one register that shows the complete total of use. Get advice from an expert today. How to test a water meter for accuracy. There is a most simple way for a homeowner to check if their water meter is reading properly. No tools are required, just a five gallon pail. Since meters register in cubic feet, if a cubic foot pail can be found that would be even better. 1  The first step is to shut the water valve on the house side of the water meter. 2  Then locate the test tee, or a test spigot. Every legally installed meter has a test tee. 3  Write down your present meter reading.
