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

Water is measured in units. One unit equals 100 cubic feet (hcf)
1 hcf equals 748 gallons

Water is usually measured by volume such as cubic feet, cubic meters,
gallons, liters etc. "units" are just an invention of suppliers. This
reminds me of that sleezy life insurance company that is always
advertising "you can get coverage for only $10/unit"
