If you're a San Jose Water customer, you probably already know how to read your meter because our customers are some of the smartest water users around.
However, unlike reading your own home meter a career in meter reading requires employees to be part MacGyver and part data collector. For San Jose Water's team of Meter Readers, the job can be fun, challenging, and occasionally, frustrating.
SJW employees working in the field get the benefits that come with living and working in California's moderate climate. Can you imagine reading meters in the midst of a Minneapolis winter? The job also means lots of time outdoors tackling interesting customer questions, helping to identify problems that might be causing high water bills or local pressure problems, and even trying to figure out where hidden meter boxes might be found.
