What Are The Units Of A Water Meter?

Water meters measure cubic meters. Because water has a density close to 1 ton per cubic meter, meter readings are often expressed in tons. This means that 1 cubic meter of water is approximately equal to 1 ton, so cubic meters and tons are used interchangeably in water metering. In practice, we typically calculate monthly water consumption by subtracting the previous month's meter reading from the current month's meter reading.
