1. What Is The Water Meter Calculator?

The Water Meter Calculator calculates your water usage by subtracting the previous meter reading from the current meter reading. This helps Wessex Water customers track their water consumption between billing periods.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Current Reading — Your most recent water meter measurement in cubic meters (m³)
• Previous Reading — Your previous water meter measurement in cubic meters (m³)

Explanation: The calculation determines the volume of water used between two meter readings, measured in cubic meters.

3. Importance Of Water Usage Calculation

Details: Tracking water usage helps monitor consumption patterns, identify potential leaks, manage water bills, and promote water conservation efforts.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter both current and previous readings in cubic meters (m³). Ensure the current reading is equal to or greater than the previous reading. Readings should be positive values.
