How To Check For Leaks

The little dial on the face of the meter is a low flow indicator. It will rotate with even a very low flow through the meter. To check for leaks, turn off all known water uses inside and outside the house.  If you have an automatic icemaker, R/O system, swimming pool auto fill valve or an irrigation system, make sure they are not operating. When all water is turned off, the low flow indicator should not move. If the low flow indicator is moving, there is water flowing somewhere on your property.  Try turning off the house shut-off valve (usually located where the waterline enters the house).  If the low flow indicator is still moving, there is water flowing outside the house (most likely on the irrigation system).  If the low flow indicator stops moving with the house valve off, water was flowing inside the house. (This could be a toilet leak, a leaky pipe, or any number of problems).
