This position reports directly to the Utilities Billing Manager. This is routine work in the reading of water meters and recording the consumption. Work primarily involves reading various types of water meters and recording the readings in a handheld unit. Work may extend to the testing and minor repair of water meters and to the changing of meters. In addition, work may extend to reestablishing water service for delinquent accounts that have been brought current.

Work is performed in accordance with established routines and procedures. No supervision is given, and on meter-reading assignments only general supervision is received, primarily through a determination in the Utilities Office that readings are correct and through a lack of complaints with regard to high bills caused by reading errors. Work originates as a result of a recurring meter reading cycle.

Work involves considerable contact with the citizen-consumer public and requires substantial courtesy and tact.
