I have a broken water main and until I get it repaired I'm evidently going to have to turn off the water at the meter during periods when I'm not in need of supply. Getting it repaired looks to be impossible until after the holiday weekend. The leaked looked pretty tame a couple of days ago but I think it's worsened considerably. A temporary clamp was put on the pipe, but it's effect is diminishing rapidly, have no idea why.
Anyway, I just went out to my meter and timed the advance. I have one of the Straight-Reading meters shown here:
I just called EBMUD emergency (I'm in Berkeley, CA) and the guy said he's only qualified to dispatch a repair person and doesn't know anything about reading the meters. The information at the above URL doesn't indicate how the dial that I'm reading corresponds to cubic feet. Does anyone know? Thanks.
