The reading
From the assets register, so this reading lines up with the last one taken on the same machine.
What it tells you
This reading is lower than the last one. Either the meter was replaced or one of the two figures is wrong — say which.
A leak, a noise, a smell. The reading is why you were standing there; this is what you saw.
A photograph settles a disputed reading a year later.
What happens next
The meter figure the next service falls due on, so the next reader can see it coming.
