How to Read and Report Your Reading Each Month
Some Oklahoma Natural Gas customers prefer to read their own gas meters. Reading your meter each month and filing the reading with ONG is really quite simple.

How to Read Your Gas Meter
Three simple steps are involved in reading your gas meter. Please refer to the example meter faces we've provided below when reviewing each of the three steps:

  1. Read each dial in the direction of the arrow, starting with the dial on the left.
  2. Notice the numbers are in a clockwise position on some dials, and a counterclockwise position on others.
  3. Record the last number the needle has passed, even if the needle has almost reached the next higher number.
