Click on the ‘Enter Readings’ link at the extreme right of the consent summary screen. You will open another screen displaying the current period for which readings are required. The screen will also display details of the consent.
The Online meter reading form has the following colour codes:
- A blue box indicates that a reading is required
- Previously entered readings are shown with a green background. These can be changed to correct mistakes, as long as the data for this period has not yet been submitted
- Submitted data cannot be altered and is shown with a yellow background.
New Meter
When you install a new meter or if the meter has rewound to zero, you need to type 'm' before the reading. For example, if you replace your meter and the first reading taken is 24, you should enter ‘m24’ in the appropriate date box. If you do not do this, the reading (and all those following it) will be rejected.
No Use
To indicate that the pump has not been used for a particular day, enter a dash '-' in the appropriate box.
No Readings
In days or weeks when you have pumped water and for some reason did not record the meter reading, you have to enter ‘NR’ to indicate no readings.
Save
Once you have entered your readings, click the Save button at the bottom of the page to save the readings.
Reset
To undo any changes you have made, but leave this page open, click the Reset button.
Cancel
If you wish to exit the page without saving your changes, click the Cancel button.
Submitting Readings
Data for a quarter can only be submitted at the end of that period. Also it can only be submitted when the required number of readings for that period has been entered. i.e. 12 or 90 readings depending on the type of permit. You have the options of indicating No Use (place a dash “-“) or No Reading (type “NR”) to fill up the readings.
Entering Data For Outstanding Quarters
To enter data for a previous period, click on the appropriate ‘Active Period’ at the top right of the data entry page. Monitoring periods with incomplete readings which are overdue will be indicated in red. Note, you cannot alter or enter any data that has previously been submitted.
