Portuguese term or phrase: end. leitura vs. end. entrega

Hi all,

On a water and gas bill, what's the difference between "end. leitura" and "end. entrega"? I'm assuming the former is where the energy usage readings were taken, and thus where the customer lives. What is the latter: is it the company's address?

Thank you.

supply address vs. billing address

Explanation:

What’s the different between a supply address and billing address?
Your ‘supply’ address is the address that we will provide energy supply to. Your ‘billing’ address is the address that we will send bills and letters to.

service address vs. mailing address

Explanation:
Just a few days ago, I called a utility company to request that my bill be mailed to my current address since I moved out. They asked me, "What is your service address?", meaning the address where the service is provided. This is how I would translate the first phrase. The second I'm almost sure it's the mailing address where you want your bill delivered.

Clarification: The service address is the same as the billing address (my home). House was rented and the bill was to be mailed to the address where I'm currently living.
