Ours is in gallons. Can't imagine why they would measure water in cubic
anything. Liquids are measured in gallons.

But you are aware a gallon is simply a unit of volume though, right?
Approximately equal to .1336 cubic feet?

Just ran down and checked my meter since this has all gotten
interesting... my meter is a speedometer typer and reads in cubic
feet.

My municipality's bill though doesn't indicate starting and ending
readings though like electric and gas bills do, just dimensionless
usage numbers. For 61 days, I used 21 somethings.

On the back of the bill, it explains "Water volume is billed in units
of 100cubic feet (HCFT). One unit of HCFT equals seven hundred
forty-eight (748)gallons of water."

Which matches what tnom very nicely said.

FWIW, we pay 2.57/unit for the water, plus 1.20/unit sewer
maintenance, and 1.17/unit for sewer treatment.
