Tuples work fine.  Multidimensional arrays are awfully complicated and
it's generally better to stay away from them, arrays of tuples make more
sense.  Maybe something like:

  CREATE TYPE meterreading (
    meter_id    INT,
    org_reading NUMERIC,
    reading     NUMERIC
  );
  SELECT office_id, serial, commit_date, service_id,
    array_agg(row(meter_id, organization_reading, reading)::meterreading) AS readings
  FROM meter_readings;
