meter readers
Gauge-inspecting employees
Meter readers are workers who visit homes and businesses to record usage from utility meters—electricity, gas, or water.
The job involves walking routes and manually checking meters, though automated and smart meters have reduced the need for human readers.
The meter reader comes by on the first Tuesday of each month.
