Grab your bill and look for the word “Usage.” This is the star of the show. It tells you how much water you actually used, usually measured in units like gallons, cubic feet, or CCFs (which is just a fancy way to say “100 cubic feet”). Don’t let the jargon scare you—it’s all just water.
Most bills show your current meter reading and the previous one. The difference between them is your usage. It’s like checking your phone’s battery percentage, but boring and wet. Write that number down; it’s your new best friend.
