Reading the snazzy new water meters

Anyone know how to read the new water meters the city is requiring?

Our household just got the new meter (after a series of increasingly aggravating postcards came our way, insisting we get it taken care RIGHT NOW OMG IT IS !!!URGENT!!!), and there's nothing on the damn thing that displays how much water has actually been used (the old one did). You'd think that given the city's fairly recent history of inaccurate water meter billing, they'd make it easy for people to tell when they were being billed incorrectly.

According to the city's website, "The state-of-the-art water meters will allow for more accurate billing and easy water usage monitoring by both the City and property owners." But, um, that suggests there's actually a display ON THE METER, right?

The anti-tamper wire does not impinge the hinge. Just flip the anti-tamper to the side, and flip the hinge up. I had mine replaced a couple days ago and I have no problem doing this.
