Can anybody tell me how we can convert the numbers on the water meter to amount of dollars to pay? We each live on an acre of land, which uses a lot of water. My brother shared the well with us, but has moved. Since he moved, we bought and installed 2 water meters. Now, we need to know how much the new owners should pay. We live outside of Bakersfield, California.

This question can be rather sticky. Water meters either measure by gallons or cubic feet of water. To charge for the amount used, you need to find out what amount per gallon or cubic foot you want to charge and use the meter to tell you the amount used. The sticky part comes in the fact that you are selling the water. Should something go wrong with the water supply, you will be responsible if the new neighbor gets sick.

if you have a record of the gallons you used previously divide your monthly bill by gallons used to get cost per gallon thenyou'll know what to charge
