1. What is a Water Usage Calculator by Hunter Water?

Definition: This calculator determines water consumption based on the difference between current and previous meter readings.

Purpose: It helps residential and commercial customers track their water consumption between billing periods.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Usage \) — Water consumed (liters)
• \( Current\ Reading \) — Current meter measurement (L)
• \( Previous\ Reading \) — Previous meter measurement (L)

Explanation: The simple difference between two meter readings gives the exact water consumption during that period.
