READING AND INTERPRETING READINGS
FROM WATER METER
A DepEd-BEAM Distance Learning Program supported by the Australian Agency for International Development
To the Learner
Hi, dear learner! In the previous lesson you have learned already
how to read and interpret readings from electric meter. This time let’s
see if you know how to read and interpret readings from water meter.
Just take time to study and answer the exercises given.
Let’s Learn This
This learning module covers the lesson on Reading and

Interpreting Readings from Water Meter. The exercises that you will
go through will help and lead you to know how to compute the water
consumption.
So, in this learning module, it is expected that you will be able to:
Read and interpret readings from water meter.

Record the readings shown by the water meter.
Compute the water consumption.
Let’s Try This
Write the water meter readings in Liters and cubic meters (m³).
L m³
1. 0 0 0 0 4 5 1
2. 0 0 0 0 1 6 0
- 11 -
3. 0 0 0 0 0 7 5
4. 0 0 0 5 4 0 3
5. 0 0 2 1 4 5 6
Let’s Study This
Like in the electricity, the water consumed is

also measured by a meter and is expressed in cubic meters.
The water meter is not the

same as the electric meter.
It is a digital meter that
shows 7 digits. The last
three digits at the right form
the decimal or fractional
part when measuring the
amount of water consumed.
To get the actual reading in cubic meters, multiply the

1
numbers that appears by or 0.001.
1000
1 m³ = 1000 L
So the number of cubic meters consumed based on the given
water meter above is 0.592 m³ or 592 L.
Give the readings on these water meters.
1. 0 0 0 0 0 7 9 0.079 m³ or 79 Liters
2. 0 0 0 2 6 5 2 2.652 m³ or 2 652 Liters
To compute the water consumption, subtract the previous

reading from the present reading.

Example:
The Paz family consumed 0.972 m³ of water last month and

10.965 m³ this month. How many cubic meters of water did they
consume?
Present Reading: 10.865 m³

Previous Reading: 0.972 m³
Water Consumed: 9.893 m³
The Paz family consumed 9.893 m³ of water this month.
Let’s Do This
A. Write the following in cubic meters.

1. 0 0 0 2 6 7 3 ___________ m³
2. 0 0 8 2 5 0 1 ___________ m³
3. 0 1 3 4 8 4 2 ___________ m³
B. Write the following in Liters.

4. 0 0 0 4 3 0 1 ___________ L
5. 0 2 3 5 4 6 0 ___________ L
C. Read and solve.
The present reading on the water meter of the Lim household is
0000834. If the previous water meter reading was 0000578, how
many cubic meters of water did the Lim family consume?

Let’s Do More
A. Write the water meter readings and the cubic meter consumed.

3. 0005763 0005984
4. 0043758 0043963
Let’s Remember This
To read a water meter:

a. Express the reading in cubic meters (m³)
b. The last three digits at the right show the fractions of cubic
meters of water consumed.
c. To find the water consumption, subtract the previous reading
from the present reading.

Let’s Test Ourselves
A. Write the water meter readings in Liters (L) and cubic meters (m³).
1. 0 0 0 0 9 3 2 L m³
2. 0 0 0 5 0 4 5 L m³
3. 0 0 9 2 6 0 7 L m³

6. 0243150 0391265
C. Read and solve (2 pts.)
On January 5, the water meter of a factory read 0801327.

On February 5, the meter registered 0803098. How many cubic
meters of water did the factory consume? About how many liters
of water was used each day?
