Business :: Reading Your Bill & Meter

Click on the link below for information on how to read your Norris bill.

If you are required to read your own meter, please read your meter at the same time each month and record your meter reading and date in the boxes provided in your billing statement. You can also submit it on our website. Regular and accurate meter readings help to reduce dramatic fluctuation in the size of your electric bill.

If you fail to read your meter two consecutive months, Norris will read the meter and charge the account $35.00. This charge will appear on your next bill statement.

How to read your meter:

Digital meter - This meter has actual numbers in the squares. Simply enter the numbers as you see them on the meter.

Dial meter - This meter reads the dials from right to left. On each dial, read the lowest number to which the dial hand points.

In the illustration above, the reading is 51042 kilowatt-hours. To get a reading on energy consumption: Start with the dial on the right. Read all dials from right to left. Write down, from right to left, the last number the dial has passed. When the hand on any dial is between two numbers, take the smaller number. When a hand is directly on a number, take that number if the hand just to the right has passed zero. If it is not past zero yet, take the smaller number.
