Estimated reads - how to submit a self read
What should I do if my bill has an estimate?
You don't need to do anything if you are satisfied with the estimate. If you would prefer an accurate reading for your invoice, you can submit a self-read to our Aussie-based team. We'll reissue your bill with the updated reading at no charge. Follow these steps to do so:
Submit a self-meter read
1. Check if your estimate is accurate
To determine if you would like to submit a self-meter read for a revised invoice, how's how you can safely read your meter and compare:
Dial Meter
Read each dial from left to right and record the numbers that are displaying If the pointer is between two numbers, record the lower number.
Clock Face meters
These have 4-5 clock face dials that record the customer's consumption.
Start by reading each dial from left to right.
Record the number that the pointer is pointing to on each dial.
If the pointer is between two numbers, note down the lower number.
If the pointer is directly on a number, check the dial to the right.
If the right-hand dial hasn't reached 0 or 1, record the lower number.
If the right-hand dial is at 0 or 1, simply record the number the pointer is on.
The reading on the example meter above is 18453.
