Water leaks – even the slightest – are culprits of high water bills.
You can find a leak by process of elimination:
- Make sure no water is being used inside or outside of your home
- Shut off automatic pool filters, sink faucets, washers and dishwashers
- Locate your water meter (usually found in the basement)
- Look at the low flow indicator, as indicated below
The low flow indicator will move counter clockwise whenever water is passing through the meter.
If your meter doesn't have a flow indicator, you monitor the sweep hand on the register to indicate water loss. If either the low flow indicator or the sweep hand is moving when you believe no water should be supplied to your home, you may have a leak.
