What does one acre-inch represent?

An acre-inch corresponds to the volume covering one acre to a depth of one inch, equal to 3,630 cubic feet.

Why is ccf used instead of acre-inch in billing?

Ccf standardizes volume measurement as 100 cubic feet, which utilities commonly use for water and natural gas billing.

Can this conversion be used for small-scale water measurements?

No, acre-inch is practical for field-scale water accounting but not suitable for precise small or indoor measurements.
